We review present‐day observations of sea level change and variability at global and
regional scales, focusing on the altimetry era starting in the early 1990s. Over the past∼ 18 …

Glaciers in the European Alps play an important role in the hydrological cycle, act as a
source for hydroelectricity and have a large touristic importance. The future evolution of …

Observations show that glaciers around the world are in retreat and losing mass.
Internationally coordinated for over a century, glacier monitoring activities provide an …

The geodetic method is widely used for assessing changes in the mass balance of mountain
glaciers. However, comparison of repeated digital elevation models only provides a glacier …

Himalayan glacier tongues are commonly debris covered and they are an important source
of melt water. However, they remain relatively unstudied because of the inaccessibility of the …

In the context of global warming, glacier changes in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) and its
surroundings have attracted a great amount of public attention. To date, there have been …

Since the mid-1980s, glaciers in the European Alps have shown widespread and
accelerating mass losses. This article presents glacier-specific changes in surface elevation …

Abstract The Late Pleistocene to Holocene transition in the Northern Hemisphere was
characterized by abrupt millennial-scale climatic changes testified in the Alpine Chain by …

Glacier-wide mass balance has been measured for more than sixty years and is widely used
as an indicator of climate change and to assess the glacier contribution to runoff and sea …

This study addresses the extrapolation of in-situ glacier mass balance measurements to the
mountain-range scale and aims at deriving time series of area-averaged mass balance and …
