Climate change played a key role in the 'catastrophic' 2023 floods in the Himalayan state of Sikkim in India, a new study ...

This balance determines the glacier's mass and whether its ice advances or retreats. The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) manages a comprehensive archive of scientific data on snow ...

Scientists at IFJ PAN discovered significant differences in plutonium isotope accumulation between hemispheres, with unique ...

Srinagar- On a crisp winter morning, people stood at the edge of Dal Lake in Srinagar.“This lake is a shadow of its former self,” one old man murmur ...

The data with NCHM shows that in between 2016 and 2020, approximately 17 Gigatonnes of glacial ice is lost. The glacier mass balance of Shodug glacier, the headwater of Thimchhu with thickness of ...

Accelerating Glacier Melting Himalayan glaciers are melting at a pace that has not been witnessed before in history. This ...

The data shows almost all glacier regions globally are receding. Mapping trends between 1976 and 2023 reveals a shift from no mass balance change to high negative mass balance or large-scale ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. Dr Tom Chudley, in our Department of Geography, led a new ...

ICIMOD also supports monitoring mass balance changes in benchmark glaciers, assessing the impacts of climate change, and studying glacier terminus retreats. The virtual event brought together ICIMOD ...

Supra-glacial debris cover is key to glacier ablation through increasing (thin debris layer) or decreasing (thick debris layer) melt rates, thereby regulating the mass balance of a glacier and its ...

Low solid precipitation and increased temperature also lead to glacier mass loss and instability. Glaciers across the Himalayan regions are showing a negative mass balance, with one notable exception ...
