Mt. Everest's highest glacier is a sentinel for accelerating ice loss
Mountain glacier systems are decreasing in volume worldwide yet relatively little is known
about their upper reaches (> 5000 m). Here we show, based on the world's highest ice core …

The role of differential ablation and dynamic detachment in driving accelerating mass loss from a debris‐covered Himalayan glacier
Sustained mass loss from Himalayan glaciers is causing supraglacial debris to expand and
thicken, with the expectation that thicker debris will suppress ablation and extend glacier …
