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.

Ablation from calving and surface melt at lake-terminating Bridge Glacier, British Columbia, 1984–2013 [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2016
Bridge Glacier is a lake-calving glacier in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia and has retreated over 3.55 km since 1972. The majority of this retreat has occurred since 1991.

Contrasting thinning patterns between lake- and land-terminating glaciers in the Bhutanese Himalaya [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2019
Despite the importance of glacial lake development in ice dynamics and glacier thinning, in situ and satellite-based measurements from lake-terminating glaciers are sparse in the Bhutanese Himalaya, where a number of proglacial lakes exist.

Terminus thinning drives recent acceleration of a Greenlandic lake-terminating outlet glacier

Journal of Glaciology
Ice-contact proglacial lakes affect ice dynamics and the transition of glacier termini from land- to lake-terminating has been shown to cause ice flow acceleration.

Dynamics of lake-terminating glaciers in the Himalaya and Southeastern Tibet between 1990 and 2020

Journal of Glaciology
Lake-terminating glaciers retreat and thin faster than land-terminating glaciers, yet their long-term dynamics remain underexplored. Using multi source–remote sensing data combined with glacier velocity and elevation change datasets, we investigated ...

An Ice Loss Evaluation of Lake-Terminating Glaciers Based on Lake Bathymetry—A Case Study of the Jiongpu Glacier

Remote Sensing
Lake-terminating glaciers are among the most severely retreating glacier types in high mountain areas. However, the characteristic of being covered by glacial lakes after retreat makes it hard to estimate their actual ice loss in recent years, as does ...

Assessing the dynamic changes and the effect of buoyancy of lake-terminating Yanong Glacier in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau with UAV surveys

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Yanong Glacier, a lake-terminating glacier, in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. Study focus: Previous researches had indicated higher mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers than land-terminating glaciers over the past few decades. However,

Characterizing Changes in Geometry and Flow Speeds of Land- and Lake-Terminating Glaciers at the Headwaters of Yarlung Zangbo River, Western Himalayas

Remote Sensing
The glaciers of the Himalayas are essential for water resources in South Asia and the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, but they are undergoing accelerated mass loss, posing risks to water security and increasing glacial hazards.

Mass balance of lake terminating Gepang Gath glacier (western Himalaya, India) and the role of glacier–lake interactions

Journal of Glaciology
The mass balance of lake-terminating glaciers responds to annual atmospheric variations, while calving-induced ice loss at the front is driven by local ice–water interactions. The current glaciological studies underestimate glacier response by neglecting

Acoustic Emissions from Grey Glacier, Chilean Patagonia: dataset of infrasound measurements [PDF]

Scientific Data
Calving is a critical process contributing to ice mass loss in tidewater and lake-terminating glaciers, with significant implications for freshwater input, glacier dynamics, and climate change. Infrasound emissions generated by calving events represent a
