Response of glacier flow and structure to proglacial lake development and climate at Fjallsjökull, south-east Iceland

Journal of Glaciology, 2019
Over recent decades, the number of outlet glaciers terminating in lakes in Iceland has increased in line with climate warming. The mass-balance changes of these lake-terminating outlet glaciers are sensitive to rising air temperatures, due to altered ...

The Expanding of Proglacial Lake Amplified the Frontal Ablation of Jiongpu Co Glacier since 1985

Remote Sensing
In High Mountain Asia, most glaciers and glacial lakes have undergone rapid variations throughout changes in the climate. Unlike land-terminating glaciers, lake-terminating glaciers show rapid shrinkage due to dynamic interactions between proglacial ...

Warm proglacial lake temperatures and thermal undercutting enhance rapid retreat of an Arctic glacier [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Determining the characteristics of Arctic proglacial lakes is essential for understanding their current and future influence on glacier mass loss, capacity as a carbon sink and the associated impacts for downstream hydrology and ecology.

Sub-regional variability in the influence of ice-contact lakes on Himalayan glaciers [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology
Ice-contact lakes modify glacier geometry and dynamics by shifting the majority of mass loss from the ice surface to the terminus. Lake-terminating glaciers are known to experience greater thinning rates and higher velocities than land-terminating ...

Glacial lake evolution and glacier–lake interactions in the Poiqu River basin, central Himalaya, 1964–2017

Journal of Glaciology, 2019
Despite previous studies, glacier–lake interactions and future lake development in the Poiqu River basin, central Himalaya, are still not well understood. We mapped glacial lakes, glaciers, their frontal positions and ice flow from optical remote sensing

Glacial lakes exacerbate Himalayan glacier mass loss. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
Heterogeneous glacier mass loss has occurred across High Mountain Asia on a multi-decadal timescale. Contrasting climatic settings influence glacier behaviour at the regional scale, but high intra-regional variability in mass loss rates points to factors

Supraglacial lake drainage at a fast-flowing Greenlandic outlet glacier. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019
Significance We present in situ records of a rapidly draining supraglacial lake in a fast-flowing sector of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Despite supraglacial lake drainage influencing ice sheet dynamics at a variety of scales, existing in situ studies have ...

Modeling the impacts of climate trends and lake formation on the retreat of a tropical Andean glacier (1962–2020) [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Located in Peru's Cordillera Blanca, the Queshque Glacier (∼9.8° S) has experienced nearly continuous retreat since the mid-20th century. More recently, this trend has accelerated after the glacier transitioned from land to lake terminating.

Recent glacier and glacial lake changes and their interactions in the Bugyai Kangri, southeast Tibet

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
Glaciers in the Bugyai Kangri are located in a transition zone from southeast Tibet, where monsoonal temperate glaciers dominate, to inner Tibet, where continental glaciers dominate.
