Delays and declines in hydrological extremes in nivo‐glacial rivers of Mendoza, Argentina

River, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 431-444, November 2025.
Hydrological changes (1956–2023) in the Mendoza River Basin on Argentinean Central Andes, reveal variations in flow pulses, magnitude, and timing in the context of climate variability. These changes affect ecosystems, water supply, and energy, highlighting the need for adaptive water management and conservation in high‐mountain regions.

Increasing glacial lake outburst flood hazard on the eastern Tibetan Plateau and implications for the Sichuan–Tibet Railway

Environmental Research Letters
Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are a severe natural hazard on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, posing a risk to infrastructure safety (e.g. the Sichuan–Tibet Railway) and regional socioeconomic development.

Trends, Breaks, and Biases in the Frequency of Reported Glacier Lake Outburst Floods

Earth's Future, 2022
Thousands of glacier lakes have been forming behind natural dams in high mountains following glacier retreat since the early 20th century. Some of these lakes abruptly released pulses of water and sediment with disastrous downstream consequences.

Quantifying Meltwater Contributions and Socio‐Economy Impacts of Future Third Pole Transboundary Fluvial Floods

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract In high‐mountain Third Pole (TP), increasing transboundary fluvial floods (TFFs) threaten nearly one billion people downstream. However, the changing roles of glacier and snow melt in the future TFFs and their socio‐economic impacts remain unclear.

Palimpsest subglacial meltwater corridors of the last cordilleran ice sheet: Geomorphology, stratigraphy and insights into subglacial meltwater dynamics during deglaciation

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 12, 30 September 2025.
High‐resolution elevation data revealed numerous smaller subglacial meltwater corridors (sSMCs) in south‐central British Columbia. The sSMCs are eroded into the surrounding landscape and consist of an erosional unconformity with curvilinear ridges, discontinuously covered by a broad corridor fill, which is sometimes capped by an esker.

Hydrological regime of remote catchments with extreme gradients under accelerated change: the Baker basin in Patagonia [PDF]

, 2012
The Baker basin (27 000 km2) is located in one of the most pristine and remote areas of the planet. Its hydrological regime is poised to undergo dramatic changes in the near future due to hydropower development and climate change.

Growing Imbalance Between Supply and Demand for Flood Regulation Service in the Asian Water Tower and Its Downstream Region

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Quantifying the supply‐demand dynamics of the flood regulation service (FRS) is crucial for effective flood risk management. However, current methods cannot adequately capture high‐altitude hydrological processes, leading to flawed assessments of climate change impacts on FRS in such regions. Here, we improve the methodology for estimating the

A growing threat of multi‐hazard cascades highlighted by the Birch Glacier collapse and Blatten landslide in the Swiss Alps

Geology Today, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 200-205, September/October 2025.
Rapid atmospheric warming, especially at high altitude, leads to alpine mountain landscapes becoming more vulnerable to mass movements and consequently unstable. For example, decay of mountain permafrost contributes to rockfalls, landslides and debris flows; glaciers are retreating and losing mass at alarming rates, exposing unstable slopes that are ...

Accelerating River Discharge in High Mountain Asia

AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract High Mountain Asia (HMA) plays a crucial role in Asian hydrology—its vast snow and glacier‐covered landscape significantly influences downstream river water supply for billions of people. Understanding the spatiotemporal pattern of river discharge in HMA aids effective water resource management and infrastructure planning.
