Abstract Knowledge about the occurrence and characteristics of surge-type glaciers is
crucial due to the impact of surging on glacier melt and glacier-related hazards. One of the …

Influenced by global warming, glaciers in High Mountains Asia (HMA) generally show a
trend of retreat and thinning, but in Karakoram, Pamir, and West Kunlun there is a trend of …

Limited ground-based surveys and extensive remote sensing analyses have confirmed
glacier thinning in the Garhwal Himalaya. More detailed studies on specific glaciers and the …

Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) have been intensely investigated in High Mountain
Asia (HMA) in recent years and are the most well-known hazard associated with the …

Glacier surging is an unusual instability of ice flow, and inventories of surging glaciers are
important for regional glacier mass balance studies and glacier dynamic studies. Glacier …

Glaciers around the world are shrinking rapidly and will continue to do so in the next
decades. Anticipating the consequences resulting from such glacier changes is key to …

Multi-temporal glacier inventories provide key information about the glaciers, their
characteristics and changes and are inevitable for glacier modelling and investigating …

It is commonly asserted that there are two distinct classes of glacier surges: slow, long-
duration 'Svalbard-type'surges, triggered by a transition from cold-to warm-based conditions …

High Mountain Asia (HMA) is one of the concentrated areas of surging glaciers in the world.
The dynamic movement of surging glaciers not only reshapes the periglacial landscape but …

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 …
