In mountainous regions, climate change threatens cryospheric water resources, and
understanding all components of the hydrological cycle is necessary for effective water …

Under a warming climate, permafrost degradation has resulted in profound hydrogeological
consequences. Here, we mainly review 240 recent relevant papers. Permafrost degradation …

Rock glaciers are an important component of the cryosphere and are one of the most visible
manifestations of permafrost. While the significance of rock glacier contribution to streamflow …

Glacier-and snowpack-derived meltwaters are threatened by climate change. Features such
as rock glaciers (RGs) are climatically more resilient than glaciers and potentially contain …

Rock glaciers are important hydrological reserves in arid and semi-arid regions. Their
activity states can indicate the existence of permafrost. To help further explore the …

Rock glaciers are an important geomorphic element of glaciated mountain landscapes, but
our understanding of their distribution and ages, controls on their development, and their …

Groundwater flow through coarse blocky landforms contributes to streamflow in mountain
watersheds, yet its role in the alpine hydrologic cycle has received relatively little attention …

Glacier recession driven by climate change produces glacial lakes, some of which are
hazardous. Our study assesses the evolution of three of the most hazardous moraine …

The quantification of volumetric ice and water content in active rock glaciers is necessary to
estimate their role as water stores and contributors to runoff in dry mountain catchments. In …

Climate change is expected to reduce water security in arid mountain regions around the
world. Vulnerable water supplies in semi-arid zones, such as the Dry Andes, are projected to …
