Long-term satellite-based observations have helped quantify glacier mass change and the
response of the hydrosphere to glacier changes. However, subaqueous mass loss …

Glacial lakes are rapidly growing in response to climate change and glacier retreat. The role
of these lakes as terrestrial storage for glacial meltwater is currently unknown and not …

Abstract Glaciers in the Himalaya–Karakoram mountain ranges harbour approximately half
of the ice volume in High-mountain Asia and modulate the flow of freshwater to almost 869 …

Warming amplification over the Arctic Pole (AP hereafter) and Third Pole (Tibetan Plateau,
TP hereafter) can trigger a series of climate responses and have global consequences …

Abstract Warming on Earth's Third Pole is leading to rapid loss of ice and the formation and
expansion of glacial lakes, posing a severe threat to downstream communities. Here we …

Abstract Knowledge about the long-term response of High Mountain Asian glaciers to
climatic variations is paramount because of their important role in sustaining Asian river flow …
