Mass loss from calving in Himalayan proglacial lakes

The formation and expansion of Himalayan glacial lakes has implications for glacier dynamics, mass balance, and glacial lake outburst floods. Subaerial and subaqueous calving is an important component of glacier mass loss but they have been difficult …

Evolution and Controls of Large Glacial Lakes in the Nepal Himalaya

Glacier recession driven by climate change produces glacial lakes, some of which are hazardous. Our study assesses the evolution of three of the most hazardous moraine-dammed proglacial lakes in the Nepal Himalaya—Imja, Lower Barun, and …
