Characteristics and changes of glacial lakes and outburst floods

G Zhang, JL Carrivick, A Emmer, DH Shugar… - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2024 - nature.com
Global glacier mass loss has accelerated, producing more and larger glacial lakes. Many of
these glacial lakes are a source of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), which pose threats …

High Arctic channel incision modulated by climate change and the emergence of polygonal ground

SM Chartrand, AM Jellinek, A Kukko… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Stream networks in Arctic and high-elevation regions underlain by frozen ground (ie,

Recent intensified erosion and massive sediment deposition in Tibetan Plateau rivers

J Li, G Wang, C Song, S Sun, J Ma, Y Wang… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
Recent climate change has caused an increase in warming-driven erosion and sediment
transport processes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Yet a lack of measurements hinders our …

Unchanged frequency and decreasing magnitude of outbursts from ice-dammed lakes in Alaska

B Rick, D McGrath, SW McCoy… - Nature Communications, 2023 - nature.com
Glacial lakes can form and grow due to glacial retreat, and rapid lake drainage can produce
destructive floods. Outburst flood compilations show a temporal increase in frequency; …

Global emergent responses of stream microbial metabolism to glacier shrinkage

TJ Kohler, M Bourquin, H Peter, G Yvon-Durocher… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
Most cryospheric ecosystems are energy limited. How their energetics will respond to
climate change remains largely unknown. This is particularly true for glacier-fed streams …

Peak Cenozoic warmth enabled deep-sea sand deposition
