Abstract On 25 April 2015, the Gorkha earthquake triggered a large rock-ice avalanche and an air blast disaster in the Langtang Valley, Nepal. More than 350 people were killed or left …
Abstract High Mountain Asia (HMA) is among the most vulnerable water towers globally and yet future projections of water availability in and from its high‐mountain catchments remain …
Melt from supraglacial ice cliffs is an important contributor to the mass loss of debris-covered glaciers. However, ice cliff contribution is difficult to quantify as they are highly dynamic …
In 2021, a catastrophic flood occurred in the Melamchi Valley of Nepal, causing widely distributed erosion in Himalayan headwaters and mobilizing a large sediment volume. As …
High elevation headwater catchments are complex hydrological systems that seasonally buffer water and release it in the form of snow and ice melt, modulating downstream runoff …
Recent progress has been made in quantifying snowmelt in the Himalaya. Although the conditions are favorable for refreezing, little is known about the spatial variability of …
This study introduces a novel approach to post-processing (ie, downscaling and bias- correcting) reanalysis-driven regional climate model daily precipitation that is capable of …
This chapter investigates the attention geomorphological hazards in Nepal have received in literature as well as the roles played by governmental as well as inter-governmental …
One third of the ice in the ablation area of glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA) is covered by a layer of rock debris of a few centimetres to several metres thickness. This supraglacial …
