Observation-based estimates of global glacier mass change and its contribution to sea-level change
Glaciers have strongly contributed to sea-level rise during the past century and will continue
to be an important part of the sea-level budget during the twenty-first century. Here, we …

Increasing risks related to landslides from degrading permafrost into new lakes in de-glaciating mountain ranges
W Haeberli, Y Schaub, C Huggel - Geomorphology, 2017 - Elsevier
While glacier volumes in most cold mountain ranges rapidly decrease due to continued
global warming, degradation of permafrost at altitudes above and below glaciers is much …

Regional and global projections of twenty-first century glacier mass changes in response to climate scenarios from global climate models
A large component of present-day sea-level rise is due to the melt of glaciers other than the
ice sheets. Recent projections of their contribution to global sea-level rise for the twenty-first …

Estimating the volume of glaciers in the Himalayan–Karakoram region using different methods
Ice volume estimates are crucial for assessing water reserves stored in glaciers. Due to its
large glacier coverage, such estimates are of particular interest for the Himalayan …

Glaciers in the Earth's hydrological cycle: assessments of glacier mass and runoff changes on global and regional scales
Abstract Changes in mass contained by mountain glaciers and ice caps can modify the
Earth's hydrological cycle on multiple scales. On a global scale, the mass loss from glaciers …
