Review of the status and mass changes of Himalayan-Karakoram glaciers
We present a comprehensive review of the status and changes in glacier length (since the
1850s), area and mass (since the 1960s) along the Himalayan-Karakoram (HK) region and …

Warming and thawing in the Mt. Everest region: A review of climate and environmental changes
Abstract Mt. Everest (Qomolangma or Sagarmatha), the highest mount on Earth and located
in the central Himalayas between China and Nepal, is characterized by highly concentrated …

The state of rock debris covering Earth's glaciers
S Herreid, F Pellicciotti - Nature Geoscience, 2020 - nature.com
Rock debris can accumulate on glacier surfaces and dramatically reduce glacier melt. The
structure of a debris cover is unique to each glacier and sensitive to climate. Despite this …

Status and change of the cryosphere in the extended Hindu Kush Himalaya region
The cryosphere is defined by the presence of frozen water in its many forms: glaciers, ice
caps, ice sheets, snow, permafrost, and river and lake ice. In the extended Hindu Kush …

Weak precipitation, warm winters and springs impact glaciers of south slopes of Mt. Everest (central Himalaya) in the last 2 decades (1994–2013)
Studies on recent climate trends from the Himalayan range are limited, and even completely
absent at high elevation (> 5000 m asl). This study specifically explores the southern slopes …

Modelling the feedbacks between mass balance, ice flow and debris transport to predict the response to climate change of debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya
Many Himalayan glaciers are characterised in their lower reaches by a rock debris layer.
This debris insulates the glacier surface from atmospheric warming and complicates the …

Reduced melt on debris-covered glaciers: investigations from Changri Nup Glacier, Nepal
Approximately 25% of the glacierized area in the Everest region is covered by debris, yet the
surface mass balance of debris-covered portions of these glaciers has not been measured …

Modelling glacier change in the Everest region, Nepal Himalaya
In this study, we apply a glacier mass balance and ice redistribution model to examine the
sensitivity of glaciers in the Everest region of Nepal to climate change. High-resolution …
