Rock glaciers likely play an important hydrological role in the semiarid Andes (SA; 27°–35° S). They supplement streamflow when water is needed most, especially during dry years in …
The Himalaya plays a vital role in regulating the freshwater availability for nearly a billion people living in the Indus, Ganga, and Brahmaputra River basins. Due to climate change …
In many of the world's high mountain systems, glacier recession in response to climate change is accompanied by a paraglacial response whereby glaciers are undergoing a …
