Glaciers in the tropical Andes have been retreating for the past several decades, leading to
a temporary increase in dry season water supply downstream. Projected future glacier …

The recent and rapid recession of alpine glaciers over the last 150 years has major
implications for associated aquatic communities. Glacial meltwater shapes many of the …

Glaciers cover about 10% of the Earth's land area but they are retreating rapidly and many
will disappear within decades. Glacier retreat is a worldwide phenomenon increasing the …

This assessment summarises the current state of knowledge on the interactive effects of
ozone depletion and climate change on aquatic ecosystems, focusing on how these affect …

The current melting of glaciers and ice sheets is a consequence of climatic change and their
turbid meltwaters are filling and enlarging many new proglacial and ice-contact lakes …

Understanding how GCC is affecting the biological diversity of the Andes is of utmost
importance and timeliness given the relevance of the region for biological conservation. Our …

In alpine regions climatic change will alter the balance between water sources (rainfall, ice-
melt, snowmelt, and groundwater) for aquatic systems, particularly modifying the relative …

Climate-induced glacial retreat in the Arctic results in an increased supply of meltwater with
suspended terrigenous material into the marine environment. Despite increasing research …

Transparency is a fundamental characteristic of aquatic ecosystems and is highly
responsive to changes in climate and land use. The transparency of glacially‐fed lakes may …

We compared phytoplankton diversity and productivity over various time scales in a set of
lakes in the central Rocky Mountains of North America (fed by both glacial and snowpack …
