Climate Change-Induced Changes in the Chemistry of a High-Altitude Mountain Lake in the Central Alps

Sandra M. Steingruber et al.

Summary: Mountains are sensitive to climate change, and the loss of ice from the cryosphere is a clear sign of climate-related effects. The study in the Central Alps shows an increase in solute concentrations in a mountain lake impacted by a rock glacier over the past 30 years. The presence of sulfate-bearing evaporites and the influence of permafrost thawing on water quality in high-alpine settings are highlighted.

Role of Indian Summer Monsoon and Westerlies on glacier variability in the Himalaya and East Africa during Late Quaternary: Review and new data

Om Kumar et al.

Summary: This paper reviews Late Quaternary climatic changes and glacier variability in the Himalaya and East Africa, focusing on the role of Indian Summer Monsoon, East African monsoon, and Westerlies monsoons. The study suggests that the Westerlies monsoon significantly contributed to the Northwestern Himalaya, while the ISM controlled glacier fluctuations in the Western Himalaya during the Late Quaternary.

Hydrochemistry of Rara Lake: A Ramsar lake from the southern slope of the central Himalayas, Nepal

Binija Kaphle et al.

Summary: High-altitude Himalayan lakes serve as natural reservoirs for environmental evidence of climate change. A study on Rara Lake in Nepal revealed slightly alkaline water dominated by calcium and magnesium bicarbonate ions from rock weathering with traces of anthropogenic inputs. The lake's hypolimnion exhibits oxygen deficiency, which may raise concerns for the future.

Recession of Gya Glacier and the 2014 glacial lake outburst flood in the Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh, India

Ulfat Majeed et al.

Summary: This study assessed changes in the Gya Glacier and reconstructed the 2014 outburst flood that struck Gya Village in Ladakh, India. The study also modeled a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) event in the region for the first time. Results show a 45.6% loss in glacier area between 1969 and 2019, with the proglacial lake expanding from 3.06 ha to 11 ha during the same period.

Accelerated global glacier mass loss in the early twenty-first century

Romain Hugonnet et al.

Summary: The study found that glaciers around the world are melting at an accelerated rate, with contrasting patterns of mass loss in different geographical regions. Overall, glaciers are losing mass more rapidly, with similar or even larger acceleration rates than Greenland or Antarctic ice sheets taken separately. These findings also highlight the importance of understanding drivers that influence glacier change to predict future changes and mitigate the impacts of sea-level rise.

Glaciohydrology of the Himalaya-Karakoram

Mohd. Farooq Azam et al.

Summary: Understanding the response of Himalayan-Karakoram rivers to climate change is crucial, with glacier and snow melt being more important for the Indus basin. River runoff, glacier melt, and flow seasonality are projected to increase in the coming decades, but there are significant uncertainties and critical knowledge gaps impacting modeled contributions of runoff components and future volumes.

A massive rock and ice avalanche caused the 2021 disaster at Chamoli, Indian Himalaya

D. H. Shugar et al.

Summary: On February 7, 2021, a catastrophic mass flow hit the Ronti Gad, Rishiganga, and Dhauliganga valleys in Chamoli, Uttarakhand, India, causing extensive devastation and casualties. The collapse of rock and glacier ice led to a debris flow that transported large boulders and scoured valley walls, highlighting issues related to monitoring and sustainable development in high-mountain environments like the Himalayas.
