An assessment of basin-scale glaciological and hydrological sensitivities in the Hindu Kush–Himalaya
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Glacier responses to future climate change will affect hydrology at sub-basin scales. The main goal of this study is to assess glaciological and hydrological sensitivities of sub-basins throughout the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region.

Rapid mass loss and disappearance of summer-accumulation type hanging glacier
Advances in Climate Change Research, 2022 Hanging glaciers hold the absolute dominant number in West China and their changes had important influences on local hydrology, sea-level rise and natural hazards (snow/ice avalanches).

RESPONSE OF CANADIAN ROCKIES GLACIER HYDROLOGY TO CHANGING CLIMATE [PDF]
, 2020 This thesis investigates the impact of snow and glaciers in mountain hydrology under changing climate conditions and glacier configurations in the Canadian Rockies, where a warming climate and glacier retreat cause concern about changes in mountain ...

Glacier or not? The importance of nuance in definitions of vanishing glaciers
Annals of GlaciologyGlaciers provide critical ecosystem services, including water resources, biodiversity, cultural value and climate signals. But what makes a glacier a glacier? And when is a glacier no longer a glacier? Different glacier definitions can conflict.

Crack wave resonances within the basal water layer
Annals of Glaciology, 2019 Hydraulic processes within and beneath glacial bodies exert a far-reaching control on ice flow through their influence on basal sliding. Within the subglacial system, rapid changes in these processes may excite resonances whose interpretation requires an

Crevasses triggered on Pine Island Glacier by drilling through an exceptional melt layer [PDF]
, 2010 The basic theory of crevasse formation suggests that crevasses initiate at or near the surface. However, due to variations in stress with depth, it has been suggested that it is possible for crevasses to initiate at depths of 10–30m.

Basal Sliding and Hydrological Drainage at Baltoro Glacier
, 2023 Abstract. Surface meltwater directly influences glacier velocity, as liquid water at the bed allows the glacier to slide. However, prolonged discharge of water at the bed increases the efficiency of the drainage system and decreases the amount of sliding.

Biotic Acceleration of Glacier Melting in Yala Glacier 9 Langtang Region, Nepal Himalaya
, 2020 In some Himalayan glaciers, the microbial production on the glacier surface is so large during the monsoon season that the surface of the ablation area is covered with a dark coloured mud-like material which mainly consists of algae and bacteria.

Modeling glacio-hydrological processes in the Himalayas: A review and future perspectives
Geography and SustainabilityThe Himalayas and their surrounding areas boast vast glaciers rivaling those in polar regions, supplying vital meltwater to the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra rivers, supporting over a billion downstream inhabitants for drinking, power, and agriculture ...
