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.

Global glacier change in the 21st century: Every increase in temperature matters

Science, 2023
Glacier mass loss affects sea level rise, water resources, and natural hazards. We present global glacier projections, excluding the ice sheets, for shared socioeconomic pathways calibrated with data for each glacier.

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 ...

Glacial Debris Flow Blockage Event (2018) in the Sedongpu Basin of the Yarlung Zangbo River, China: Occurrence Factors and Its Implications

Land, 2022
In this paper, the glacial debris flow blockage event, on 17 October 2018, in the Sedongpu basin of the Yarlung Zangbo River is taken as an example to analyse the occurrence and development of glacier hazards in this region.

Local knowledge of emerging hazards: Instability above an Icelandic glacier

, 2021
Climate change is contributing to shifts in the magnitude and scale of hazards, and the emergence of risks in areas where they were previously unknown. In south-east Iceland, a fracture in the mountainside of Svinafellsheiði threatens to cause between 60

Downwasting and supraglacial lake evolution on the debris-covered Ngozumpa Glacier, Khumbu Himal, Nepal [PDF]

, 2015
In recent decades, the downwasting of several debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya has led to the formation of large and potentially hazardous moraine- dammed lakes.

Classification and kinematics of the Planpincieux Glacier break-offs using photographic time-lapse analysis

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
Herein, we present results obtained from time-lapse imagery acquired by a digital single-lens reflex camera during 2014–18 used to monitor the Planpincieux Glacier on the Italian side of the Grandes Jorasses (Mont Blanc massif).

A Progressive Learning Strategy for Large-Scale Glacier Mapping

IEEE Access, 2022
In recent years, the worldwide temperature increase has resulted in rapid deglaciation and a higher risk of glacier-related natural hazards such as flooding and debris flow.
