The hazardous 2017–2019 surge and river damming by Shispare Glacier, Karakoram
In 2017–2019 a surge of Shispare Glacier, a former tributary of the once larger Hasanabad
Glacier (Hunza region), dammed the proglacial river of Muchuhar Glacier, which formed an …

Spatio-temporal trends in the surface ice velocities of the central Himalayan glaciers, India
The glacier surface ice velocity (SIV) is important in understanding the glacier state. This
study presents results on the SIV of the 18 glaciers spread over the Indian central Himalaya …

Enthalpy balance theory unifies diverse glacier surge behaviour
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 …

Understanding the role of anthropogenic emissions in glaciers retreat in the central Andes of Chile
Abstract Glaciers in Chilean Central Andes have significatively retreated, at least, in the last
60 years. From 2004 to 2014, the largest retreat in the area (− 0.15 km 2 yr− 1) was …
