Spatiotemporal changes of glaciers on Yulong Snow Mountain, southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, from 1987 to 2024

Glacier change at the ISM-MLW transition: multi-decadal evidence of spatial heterogeneity from the Sara Umga watershed, western Himalaya

This study presents a multi-decadal assessment of glacier change in the Sara Umga Watershed (SUW), between the Parvati and Chandra basins. The region receives a majority of its annual precipitation from Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) and a comparatively lower share contributed by winter Mid Latitude Westerlies (MLW). Us...

Multi‑decadal assessment of glacier dynamics in the Doda sub‑Basin, Western Himalaya

Glacier changes in the Qilian Mountains over the past 60+ years: Multi-factor quantitative analysis of spatial heterogeneity and driving mechanisms.

Against the backdrop of global climate warming, glaciers in the Qilian Mountains have continued to retreat, yet existing monitoring data suffer from insufficient timeliness, and the analysis of influencing factors on glacier retreat lacks multi-element synergistic consideration. This study, based on data from two Chine...

Spatiotemporal Assessment of Baltoro Glacier Snow-Cover Dynamics: Relevance to Indus Basin Water Resources and Irrigation

Glaciers of the Karakoram feed the Upper Indus, whose meltwater supports one of the largest irrigation systems in the world and, through it, the soils and crops of Pakistan. This study assessed the change in snow-covered surface of Baltoro Glacier between 2000 and 2020 and tested its relationship with temperature and p...

Glacier response to the transition from lake- to land-terminating following a glacial lake outburst flood at Jinwu Glacier, southeastern Tibet

Proglacial lakes can accelerate terminus retreat and dynamic thinning of lake-terminating glaciers. However, glacier responses to abrupt lake disconnection following glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) remain poorly quantified. Here, we investigate the dynamic evolution of Jinwu Glacier in southeastern Tibet, China,...

Closing Data Gaps in Regional Glacier Trends of the Wind River Range, Wyoming, USA

Glaciers in Wind River Range, Wyoming, have experienced substantial reductions in surface area and volume in recent decades, yet existing inventories contain temporal gaps and often mix glaciers with seasonal snowpack. We mapped and classified glacier outlines using high-resolution satellite imagery in 2006 in Google E...
