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 …

BACKGROUND The Himalayan-Karakoram (HK) region in south Asia is one of the most
heavily glacierized and vulnerable mountainous regions on Earth. The Indus, Ganges, and …

Scientific evidence shows that most glaciers in South Asia's Hindu Kush Himalayan region
are retreating, but the consequences for the region's water supply are unclear, this report …

Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns across the Hindu Kush–Himalaya
(HKH) region resulting from climate change have an influence on water resource availability …

Himalayan glaciers supply meltwater to densely populated catchments in South Asia, and
regional observations of glacier change over multiple decades are needed to understand …

The mountain regions of the Hindu Kush, Karakoram, and Himalayas (HKH) are considered
Earth's “third pole,” and water from there plays an essential role for downstream populations …

Greater Himalayan glaciers are retreating and losing mass at rates comparable to glaciers in
other regions of the world,,,,. Assessments of future changes and their associated …

Glaciers and snowfields can form potential hazards in the Himalayas, and in similarly
glacierised regions of the world. Some glaciological phenomena can have significant …

This study reports the changes in glacier extent and streamflow similar to many Himalayan
studies, but takes the unusual step of also linking these to downstream land use changes in …

Glacial lake outburst floods are among the most serious natural hazards in the Himalayas.
Such floods are of high scientific and political importance because they exert trans …
