Mass loss on Himalayan glacier endangers water resources
[1] Ice cores drilled from glaciers around the world generally contain horizons with elevated levels of beta radioactivity including Cl and H associated with atmospheric thermonuclear bomb testing in the 1950s and 1960s. Ice cores collected in 2006 from Naimona’nyi Glacier in the Himalaya (Tibet) lack these distinctive marker horizons suggesting no net accumulation of mass (ice) since at least ...
متن کاملDramatic mass loss in extreme high-elevation areas of a western Himalayan glacier: observations and modeling
Rapid climate change at high elevations has accelerated glacier retreat in the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau. However, due to the lack of long-term glaciological measurements, there are still uncertainties regarding when the mass loss began and what the magnitude of mass loss is at such high elevations. Based on in situ glaciological observations during the past 9 years and a temperature-index ...
متن کاملImage Measurement Techniques in Rock Glacier Modelling
Rock glacier is a rare case of study for 3D modelling. We use a stereo feature-based method and multi-view stereo reconstruction algorithms to get different types of cartography. The proposed method has been tested in a real rock glacier example (Veleta in Sierra Nevada, Spain) for producing maps with good results. This rock glacier is of high scientific interest because it is the southernmost ...
متن کاملGlacier and landslide feedbacks to topographic relief in the Himalayan syntaxes.
Despite longstanding research on the age and formation of the Tibetan Plateau, the controls on the erosional decay of its margins remain controversial. Pronounced aridity and highly localized rock uplift have traditionally been viewed as limits to the dissection of the plateau by bedrock rivers. Recently, however, glacier dynamics and landsliding have been argued to retard headward fluvial eros...
متن کاملSnow and glacier melt in the Satluj River at Bhakra Dam in the western Himalayan region
Streamflow in the Himalayan rivers is generated from rainfall, snow and ice. The distribution of runoff produced from these sources is such that the streamflow may be observed in these rivers throughout the year, i.e. they are perennial in nature. Snow and glacier melt runoff contributes substantially to the annual flows of these rivers and its estimation is required for the planning, developme...
