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 …

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

Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTSs) are among the most dynamic landforms in permafrost
areas, and their formation can be attributed to the thawing of ice-rich permafrost. The spatial …

Mt. Everest, one of the most coveted climbing mountains on earth, also contains the highest
altitude chemical contamination on land. For the first time, meltwater and snow samples from …

Thousands of glacier lakes have been forming behind natural dams in high mountains
following glacier retreat since the early 20th century. Some of these lakes abruptly released …

Accurate knowledge of snow depth distributions in mountain catchments is critical for
applications in hydrology and ecology. Recently, a method was proposed to map snow …

Observing changes in Earth surface topography is crucial for many Earth science
disciplines. Documenting these changes over several decades at regional to global scale …

Abstract On February 7, 2021, a catastrophic landslide occurred in Chamoli, India on the
southern hills of the Himalayas (N, E). About 28× 106 m3 of landslide mass detached from …

The hydrological characteristics of debris-covered glaciers are known to be fundamentally
different from those of clean-ice glaciers, even within the same climatological, geological …

Accurate measurements of ice flow are essential to predict future changes in glaciers and
ice caps. Glacier displacement can in principle be measured on the large scale by cross …
