Exploring kuhl irrigation system potential in changing cryosphere regime of Astore river basin, Pakistan
Snow and glacier melt runoff supporting agriculture and livelihoods of large number of communities is becoming highly vulnerable to recent changes in...
-
Groundwater springs formed during glacial retreat are a large source of methane in the high Arctic
Permafrost and glaciers in the high Arctic form an impermeable ‘cryospheric cap’ that traps a large reservoir of subsurface methane, preventing it...

Impact of Arctic Oscillation on cloud radiative forcing and September sea ice retreat
The Arctic Oscillation (AO) has important effects on the sea ice change in terms of the dynamic and thermodynamic processes. However, while the...

The effects of climatic change and inter-annual variability on glacier retreat from ~ 1850s AD moraines in the Kuoqionggangri peak region, southern Tibetan Plateau
Glaciers reflect integrated climate signals from inter-annual to centennial timescales. In using glacier extent as a climate-change detector, the...

Spatially resolved estimates of glacial retreat and lake changes from Gepang Gath Glacier, Chandra Basin, Western Himalaya, India
Glacial lakes dynamics has a concomitant impact over glacial retreat, mass change and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) events. Recent warming led...

Climate of the Cordillera Blanca
Currently, the Cordillera Blanca (CB) hast lost about 38% of its glacier mass in the las four decades due to the effects of climate change. But what...

Himalayan Cryospheric Science: A Paradigm Shift By IRS 1C/1D DATA
Himalayan region is a water tower (W.T.) of Asia due to a large concentration of cryosphere. The area generates a large amount of water and used by...
