Summary The Hindukush Karakoram Himalayan mountains contain some of the largest
glaciers of the world, and supply melt water from perennial snow and glaciers to the Upper …

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 …

Debris cover on glaciers is an important component of glacial systems as it influences
climate–glacier dynamics and thus the lifespan of glaciers. Increasing air temperatures …

Warming in mountainous areas has obvious elevation dependence (warming rate increases
with elevation), which deeply impacts runoff change in mountainous areas. This study …

This paper discusses the recent retreat of glaciers and the changes in supraglacial lakes in
the Bhutan Himalaya during the last two decades. We calculated the changes in clean and …

Glaciers in Afghanistan are crucial elements for water resource and summer river flows.
