The impact of glaciers on mountain erosion
Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, 2021Glaciers and ice sheets erode mountains and produce vast quantities of sediments that are delivered to rivers and oceans, impacting global sediment and biogeochemical balances. Therefore, understanding how the production of sediments by glacial erosion has evolved in the past, and will evolve in a changing climate, is increasingly important.

Technical Report: Mountain glaciers melting
2023Mountain regions are known as the “water towers of the world” for their capacity to store freshwater in glaciers. River basins with glaciers on their headwaters benefit from water stored as ice, representing a regulating water source for downstream river flow, particularly during the summer and in dry periods, especially in times of drought.

Pleistocene glaciers on southern California mountains
American Journal of Science, 1959The deposits of 7 valley glaciers have been mapped in the San Gorgonio area of the San Bernardino Mountains in southern California. These ice bodies headed at elevations between 10,300 and 11,300 ft., the lowest elevation attained was 8700 ft., and lengths were 0.5 to 1.7 mi. Dry Lake glacier was the largest. It covered 0.84 sq. mi. on the N.

Mountain glaciers as paleoclimate proxies
2017Glaciers offer the potential to reconstruct past climate over timescales from decades to millennia. They are found on nearly every continent, and at the Last Glacial Maximum, glaciers were larger in all regions on Earth. The physics of glacier-climate interaction is relatively well understood, and glacier models can be used to reconstruct past climate ...

Glacier and Permafrost Hazards in High Mountains
2005Glacier- and permafrost-related hazards represent a continuous threat to human lives and infrastructure in high mountain regions. Related disasters can kill hundreds or even thousands of people at once and cause damage with a global sum on the order of 108 Euro annually.

Mountain Glaciers are at Risk of Extinction
2005Mountain glaciers are a product of climate and are important environmental components of local, regional and global water cycles. Glaciers are sources of beauty in the mountain landscapes and, in many cases, have been among the primary agents responsible for forming these landscapes.
