Glaciers cover∼ 10% of the Earth's land surface, but they are shrinking rapidly across most
parts of the world, leading to cascading impacts on downstream systems. Glaciers impart …

Abstract Glaciers in High Mountain Asia have experienced heterogeneous rates of loss
since the 1970s. Yet, the associated changes in ice flow that lead to mass redistribution and …

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 …

The anticipated retreat of glaciers around the globe will pose far-reaching challenges to the
management of fresh water resources and significantly contribute to sea-level rise within the …

Natural dust is often associated with hot, subtropical deserts, but significant dust events have
been reported from cold, high latitudes. This review synthesizes current understanding of …

Hydroclimatic changes associated with global warming over the past 50 years have been
documented widely, but physical landscape responses are poorly understood thus far …
