Glaciers respond sensitively to climate variability and change, with associated impacts on
meltwater production, sea-level rise and geomorphological hazards. There is a strong …

An updated glacier inventory is important for understanding glacier behaviour given the
accelerating glacier retreat observed around the world. Here, we present data from a new …

The retreat of mountain glaciers affects mountain hazards and hydrology, and new methods
are needed to rapidly map glacier retreat at planetary scales. We automatically map 14,329 …

High-mountain glaciers can be covered with varying degrees of debris. Debris over glaciers
(supraglacial debris) significantly alter glacier melt, velocity, ice geometry, and, thus, the …

Over the past decades, the cryosphere has changed significantly in High Mountain Asia
(HMA), leading to multiple natural hazards such as rock–ice avalanches, glacier collapse …

Debris-covered ice is widespread in mountain regions with debris an important control on
surface ice melt and glacier retreat. Quantifying debris cover extent and its evolution through …

Glacier snow line altitude (SLA) at the end of the ablation season is an indicator of the
equilibrium line altitude (ELA), which is a key parameter for calculating and assessing …

As a particular type of alpine glacier, debris-covered glaciers are essential for local water
resources and glacial disaster warnings. The Eastern Tomur Peak Region (EPTR) is the …

Glacier changes on the Tibetan Plateau are of great importance for regional climate and
hydrology and even global ecological changes. It is urgent to understand the effect of …

Delineation of Glaciers is a challenging task in the Himalaya due to its complex topography,
cloud cover, seasonal snow cover, hillshade, debris cover. Glacio-hydrological studies …
