Glacier inventory and glacier changes (1994–2020) in the Upper Alaknanda Basin, Central Himalaya
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Himalayan glaciers have been shrinking and losing mass rapidly since 1970s with an enhanced rate after 2000. The shrinkage is, however, quite heterogeneous and it is important to document individual glacier characteristics and their changes at the basin ...

Assessing glacier changes and hydrological impacts in the upper Indus Basin under CMIP6 climate scenarios [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Glaciers in the Himalaya are vital for sustaining streamflow in the Upper Indus Basin. This study quantifies future glacier mass and area changes in the Jhelum sub-basin using projections from 13 bias-corrected CMIP6 climate models under SSP245 ...

Cast shadows reveal changes in glacier surface elevation [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Increased rates of glacier retreat and thinning need accurate local estimates of glacier elevation change to predict future changes in glacier runoff and their contribution to sea level rise.

Glacier Changes in India’s Dhauliganga Catchment over the Past Two Decades
Remote Sensing, 2022 The rapid melting of glaciers has led to severe glacial-hydrological hazards in the Himalayas. An extreme example occurred on 7 February 2021, when a catastrophic mass flow descended from the Ronti glacier at Chamoli, Indian Himalaya, causing widespread ...

Quantifying the contribution of glacier runoff to streamflow in the upper Columbia River Basin, Canada [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2012 Glacier melt provides important contributions to streamflow in many mountainous regions. Hydrologic model calibration in glacier-fed catchments is difficult because errors in modelling snow accumulation can be offset by compensating errors in glacier ...

Remote Sensing, 2020 Most of the world’s glaciers have retreated significantly against the background of recent climate warming, while reports have indicated that the glaciers in the West Kunlun Mountains (WKL) may be in a relatively stable state, although there are some ...

Changing friction at the base of an Alpine glacier [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractRepeating earthquakes are a global phenomenon of tectonic faults. Multiple ruptures on the same fault asperities lead to nearly identical waveforms characteristic for these seismic events. We identify their microseismic counterparts beneath an Alpine glacier, where basal sliding accounts for a significant amount of ice flow.

Glacier Velocity Changes in the Himalayas in Relation to Ice Mass Balance
Remote Sensing, 2021 Glacier evolution with time provides important information about climate variability. Here, we investigated glacier velocity changes in the Himalayas and analysed the patterns of glacier flow.

Recent Changes in the Glaciers of Svartisen [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1965 Abstract The history of glaciological studies in the Svartisen area is outlined, and observations made by earlier workers are summarized. The present position of the ice limit in the area is indicated and is compared with those of the past Evidence of extensive, and almost continuous, retreat of the glaciers is presented, and emphasis
