The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

The separation of fresh snow, exposed glacier ice and debris covered ice on glacier
surfaces is needed for hydrologic applications and for understanding the response of …

Currently, about 12%–13% of High Mountain Asia's glacier area is debris-covered, which
alters its surface mass balance. However, in regional-scale modelling approaches, debris …

Deposits of surge-type glaciers are widespread in the glacial geologic record; however, it is
unclear how climate changes occurring at time scales of decades to centuries affect surge …

A debris flow occurred in the foreland of Gangotri Glacier by its former tributary, Meru
(Bamak) Glacier between 16 and 19 July 2017. We investigated the debris flow using pre …

Concurrent with atmospheric warming glaciers around the world are rapidly retreating,
thinning, and losing mass. While total volume compared with the ice sheets in Greenland …

Ice dammed glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) associated with surge glaciers are
increasing in response to climate change. Predicting the phenomenon to protect …

Using global Sentinel-1 radar backscatter data, we systematically map the locations of
glaciers with surge-type activity during 2017–22. Patterns of pronounced increases or …

Surge-type glaciers periodically undergo large flow acceleration after extended quiescent
phases of slow movement, often accompanied by terminus advance. Such glaciers are …

In contrast to the large surge-type glacier clusters widely known for several mountain ranges
around the world, the presence of surging glaciers in the Andes has been historically seen …
