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.

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.

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.

Rapid decline of snow and ice in the tropical Andes – Impacts, uncertainties and challenges ahead [PDF]
, 2018 Glaciers in the tropical Andes have been retreating for the past several decades, leading to a temporary increase in dry season water supply downstream. Projected future glacier shrinkage, however, will lead to a long-term reduction in dry season river

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

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 ...
