Snow, glaciers and permafrost translate fluctuations of atmospheric conditions and highlight
current environmental changes. Monitoring of these changes is one of the major objectives …

In recent decades, climate change has led to global warming, glacier melting, glacial lake
outbursts, sea level rising, and more extreme weather, and has seriously affected human …

Accelerating glacier melt rates were observed during the last decades. Substantial ice loss
occurs particularly during heat waves that are expected to intensify in the future. Because …

Several studies identified heterogeneous glacier mass changes in western High Mountain
Asia over the last decades. Causes for these mass change patterns are still not fully …

The complex topography and size of High Mountain Asia (HMA) result in large differences in
glacier mass-balance variability and climate sensitivity. Current understanding of these …

We present geodetic mass-balance estimates for ten glaciers (22.6±1.1 km2) around Volcán
Domuyo between 1962 and 2020 (and 46 glaciers covering 29±1.5 km2 between 1984 and …

Glaciers located in western High Mountain Asia (HMA) have shown mass gain or limited
mass losses compared to other mountain regions since~ 2000. Increases in accumulation …

Quantifying the effects of alpine GMB (Glacier Mass Balance) on river runoff is an important
content of climate change. Uncertainty exists in GMB monitoring when applying remote …

Accelerating glacier melt rates were observed during the last decades. Substantial ice loss
occurs particularly during heat waves that are expected to intensify in the future. Because …

Accurate estimates of regional and global glacier mass require many field-based sample
measurements that are widely distributed across an area of interest. The Sawir Mountains …
