Global glacier change in the 21st century: Every increase in temperature matters
Glacier mass loss affects sea level rise, water resources, and natural hazards. We present
global glacier projections, excluding the ice sheets, for shared socioeconomic pathways …

Accelerated mass loss of Himalayan glaciers since the Little Ice Age
Himalayan glaciers are undergoing rapid mass loss but rates of contemporary change lack
long-term (centennial-scale) context. Here, we reconstruct the extent and surfaces of 14,798 …

[HTML][HTML] Spatial variability in melting on Himalayan debris-covered glaciers from 2000 to 2013
F Chen, J Wang, B Li, A Yang, M Zhang - Remote Sensing of Environment, 2023 - Elsevier
Glaciers covered by debris are widespread in the Himalayas. Debris layer makes the
melting process of glaciers complicated, and the correlation between the spatial melt …

Controls on the relative melt rates of debris-covered glacier surfaces
Supraglacial debris covers 7% of mountain glacier area globally and generally reduces
glacier surface melt. Enhanced energy absorption at ice cliffs and supraglacial ponds …

Controls on Ice Cliff Distribution and Characteristics on Debris‐Covered Glaciers
Ice cliff distribution plays a major role in determining the melt of debris‐covered glaciers but
its controls are largely unknown. We assembled a data set of 37,537 ice cliffs and …

Projected 21st-century glacial lake evolution in High Mountain Asia
In High Mountain Asia (HMA), rising temperatures and retreating glaciers are leading to the
formation of new glacial lakes and the expansion of existing ones. The sudden release of …

Response of the thick and thin debris-covered glaciers between 1971 and 2019 in Ladakh Himalaya, India—A case study from Pensilungpa and Durung-Drung …
This paper aims to broadly understand the response of glaciers to thick and thin debris cover
from one of the less explored regions (Zanskar) of the Himalaya. The present study is based …
