Contemporary Dynamics of Glacial Lakes: Comparison Between Selected Systems Developing in Northern, Central and Southern Regions in Spitsbergen

open access: yesQuaestiones Geographicae
The study investigates glacial lakes in Svalbard, examining examples from the forelands of Gåsbreen, Crammerbreen, Knivseggbreen, Neppebreen and Ragnarbreen, each representing different classifications of glacial lakes, including ice-dammed, frontal ...

Assessment of SWOT for Monitoring Ice‐Marginal Lake Water Levels in Greenland

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission provides a powerful data set for monitoring global surface water resources. However, its performance for monitoring ice‐marginal lakes in Greenland remains unknown. Due to the scarcity of in situ measurements, this study evaluated the reliability of ice‐marginal lake elevations ...

Seasonal variations in proglacial lake area revealed by high spatial resolution planetscope satellite imagery

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
High‐resolution PlanetScope imagery reveals seasonal variations in proglacial lake area are underestimated by ~7% in moderate‐resolution data, while use of a single summer image can underestimate annual maximum area by ~2%. Capturing these seasonal variations provides valuable insights into the factors driving lake dynamics at Fjallsárlón, Iceland ...

Long‐Term Snow Avalanche Trends in High Mountain Asia: Climatic Drivers and Impacts

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Devastating snow avalanches are frequent in High Mountain Asia (HMA) yet remain undocumented with climate change impact drivers poorly understood. Here we introduce the first record of 60 million avalanche deposits across 10,701 small catchments, compiled from 33 years of Landsat data from 1990 until 2022 using a snow index.

Environmental Controls on the Cycling of Fe and Mn in Patagonian Fjord Systems

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Fjord sediments are important reservoirs and conduits of potentially bioavailable iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn). Both elements are critical to life, serving as key reactants in metabolic pathways, and play an important role in the reactivity and burial of organic carbon.

Potential threats of glacial lake changes to the Sichuan-Tibet Railway

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology
The Sichuan-Tibet Railway, China's second inland railway to Tibet, is currently being constructed and will run between Chengdu and Lhasa. It will cross the southeastern Tibetan Plateau and be surrounded by glacial lakes, some of which may pose a threat ...

Glaciological results of the 2005 expedition to Inylchek Glacier, Central Tian Shan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Like many other glaciers in Central Asia, Southern Inylchek glacier in the Kyrgyz Tian Shan is covered by supraglacial moraine, which drastically influences melt rates and complicates the estimation of ablation. The quantification of sub-debris melt from
