In-phase millennial-scale glacier changes in the tropics and North Atlantic regions during the Holocene. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2022 Based on new and published cosmic-ray exposure chronologies, we show that glacier extent in the tropical Andes and the north Atlantic regions (TANAR) varied in-phase on millennial timescales during the Holocene, distinct from other regions.

Multitemporal glacier inventory revealing four decades of glacier changes in the Ladakh region
Earth System Science Data, 2022 . Multi-temporal inventories of glacierised regions provide an improved understanding of water resource availability. In this study, we present a Landsat-based multi-temporal inventory of glaciers in four Upper Indus sub-basins and three internal ...

Glacier and Rock Glacier changes since the 1950s in the La Laguna catchment, Chile
The Cryosphere, 2021 . Glaciers and rock glaciers play an important role in the hydrology of the semi-arid Northern Chile. Several studies show that glaciers have strongly lost mass in response to climate change during the last decades.

Glacier changes on the Nanga Parbat 1856-2020: A multi-source retrospective analysis.
Science of the Total Environment, 2021 Contemporary changes in the Himalayan cryosphere are an important concern in the global climate change debate. In this context, the glaciers of the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) deserve special attention because of their importance for freshwater supply in the

Combining UAV and Landsat data to assess glacier changes on the central Tibetan Plateau
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 In recent years, researchers have focused on the applications of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) in environmental remote sensing tasks. However, studies on glacier monitoring using UAV technology are relatively scarce, especially for high mountain ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Estimations of global glacier mass changes over the course of the 20th century require automated initialization methods, allowing the reconstruction of past glacier states from limited information. In a previous study, we developed a method to initialize

Measuring glacier mass changes from space—a review
Reports on progress in physics. Physical Society, 2023 Glaciers distinct from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are currently losing mass rapidly with direct and severe impacts on the habitability of some regions on Earth as glacier meltwater contributes to sea-level rise and alters regional water ...

Remote Sensing, 2022 Meltwater from the cryosphere contributes a significant fraction of the freshwater resources in the countries receiving water from the Third Pole. Within the ESA-MOST Dragon 4 project, we addressed in particular changes of glaciers and proglacial lakes ...

A dataset of simulated sequences of glacier mass balance in the Kanchenjunga Basin during 1990–2018
中国科学数据, 2023 As a result of climate change, the global glacier shrinkage was observed, and glaciers of different types have experienced distinct changes in their mass budgets.
