Glacier and Permafrost Hazards

, 2021
Retreating glaciers and thawing permafrost are causing local- to regional-scale hazards that threaten lives and livelihoods, infrastructure, sustainable resource development, and national security. Permafrost hazards are gradually impacting people across the Arctic, while glacier/permafrost hazard cascades are abrupt, more localized, and most life ...

Glacier-Related Hazards Along the International Karakoram Highway: Status and Future Perspectives

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The China–Pakistan international Karakoram Highway passes through the core area of the “Karakoram Anomaly,” whose glaciers have maintained or increased their mass during a period when most glaciers worldwide have receded.

New inventory of glaciers in Tajikistan from 3 m PlanetScope imagery (2024): the Tajikistan Glacier Inventory (TGI) [PDF]

Scientific Data
Glaciers in Tajikistan serve as a crucial water source in Central Asia. However, existing glacier data products suffer from several limitations, including outdated temporal coverage, coarse spatial resolution, and inadequate mapping of debris-covered ...

Glacier and glacier hazard characterization based on remote sensing interpretation: a case study in Qinghai Province, China

Frontiers in Earth Science
Against the backdrop of global climate warming, glaciers across the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau are undergoing widespread retreat, glacial lakes are expanding rapidly, and disasters such as ice avalanches and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are occurring ...

Kinematics of the exceptionally-short surge cycles of Sít’ Kusá (Turner Glacier), Alaska, from 1983 to 2013

Journal of Glaciology, 2021
Glacier surges are periodic episodes of mass redistribution characterized by dramatic increases in ice flow velocity and, sometimes, terminus advance.

Evaluating deep-learning models for debris-covered glacier mapping

Applied Computing and Geosciences, 2021
In recent decades, mountain glaciers have experienced the impact of climate change in the form of accelerated glacier retreat and other glacier-related hazards such as mass wasting and glacier lake outburst floods.

Simultaneous drainage events from supraglacial lakes on the southern Inylchek Glacier, Central Asia

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
To understand the mechanism of simultaneous drainage event related to supraglacial lakes on a debris-covered glacier, we investigated water-level variations of supraglacial lakes on the southern Inylchek Glacier in Kyrgyzstan. To examine these variations,

Longbasaba Glacier recession and contribution to its proglacial lake volume between 1988 and 2018

Journal of Glaciology, 2021
During the last few decades, the lake-terminating glaciers in the Himalaya have receded faster than the land-terminating glaciers as proglacial lakes have exacerbated the mass loss of their host glaciers.

A near 90-year record of the evolution of El Morado Glacier and its proglacial lake, Central Chilean Andes

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
Using an ensemble of close- and long-range remote sensing, lake bathymetry and regional meteorological data, we present a detailed assessment of the geometric changes of El Morado Glacier in the Central Andes of Chile and its adjacent proglacial lake ...
