[1] While the impacts of long‐term climate change trends on glacier hydrology have receivedmuch attention, little has been done to quantify direct glacier runoff contributions to streamflow. This paper presents an approach for determining glacier runoff contributions to streamflow and estimating the effects of increased temperature and decreased glacier area on future runoff. We focus on late s...

Mountain glacier retreat is an important problem related to temperature increase caused by global climate change. The retreat of mountain glaciers has been studied from the ground, but there exists a need for automated methods to catalog glacial change with a wider scope. A viable approach is to extract intensity profiles from Landsat images along the glacial flowline and follow the terminus lo...

We analyzed the genetic diversity (V4 region of the 18S rRNA) of planktonic microbial eukaryotes in four high mountain lakes including two remote biogeographic regions (the Himalayan mountains and the European Alps) and distinct habitat types (clear and glacier-fed turbid lakes). The recorded high genetic diversity in these lakes was far beyond of what is described from high mountain lake plank...

Controversy about the current state and future evolution of Himalayan glaciers has been stirred up by erroneous statements in the fourth report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change1,2. Variable retreat rates3–6 and a paucity of glacial mass-balance data7,8 make it difficult to develop a coherent picture of regional climate-change impacts in the region. Here, we report remotely-sense...

Abstract. Currently, about 12 %–13 % of High Mountain Asia’s glacier area is debris-covered, which alters its surface mass balance. However, in regional-scale modelling approaches, debris-covered glaciers are typically treated as clean-ice glaciers, leading to a bias when their future evolution. Here, we present new approach for debris and thickness evolution, applicable from single the global ...

The impact of the timing of dust deposition on glacier runoff was evaluated using a glacier mass–balance model with a newly improved scheme to track a dusted layer in a snow layer of a glacier. The lowering of surface albedo due to the dusted layer appearing leads to a drastic increase of glacier runoff even under the same meteorological conditions. Calculations of seasonal sensitivity, the rel...

Abstract. Knowledge about the occurrence and characteristics of surge-type glaciers is crucial due to impact surging on glacier melt glacier-related hazards. One super-clusters High Mountain Asia (HMA). However, no consistent region-wide inventory in HMA exists. We present a regionally resolved based their behaviour across between 2000 2018. identify from surface velocity, elevation feature cha...

The Aladağlar is a mountain range located in the central Taurus Mountains (37°45′ N, 35°15′ E) along Mediterranean coast of Turkey, dominated by geomorphic features intervened karstic and glacial landscapes. Aladağlar, also known as Alps one most popular places for mountaineering. Here, we present comprehensive geomorphological map mountain. Despite increased recent research, understanding spat...
