TL;DR: It is found that glaciers in the Arctic, Canada, Alaska, coastal Greenland, the southern Andes, and high-mountain Asia contribute approximately as much melt water as the ice sheets themselves: 260 billion tons per year between 2003 and 2009, accounting for about 30% of the observed sea-level rise during that period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrasting patterns of early twenty-first-century glacier mass change in the Himalayas
TL;DR: Satellite laser altimetry and a global elevation model are used to show widespread glacier wastage in the eastern, central and south-western parts of the HKKH during 2003–08 and show indirect evidence of a complex pattern of glacial responses in reaction to heterogeneous climate change signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Region-wide glacier mass balances over the Pamir-Karakoram-Himalaya during 1999–2011
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the 2000 Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation model (DEM) to recent (2008-2011) DEMs derived from SPOT5 stereo imagery.
Journal ArticleDOI
A spatially resolved estimate of High Mountain Asia glacier mass balances from 2000 to 2016
TL;DR: The results shed light on the Nyainqentanglha and Pamir glacier mass changes, for which contradictory estimates exist in the literature, and provide crucial information for the calibration of the models used for projections of future glacier response to climatic changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slight mass gain of Karakoram glaciers in the early twenty-first century
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the regional mass balance of Karakoram glaciers by comparison of digital elevation models from 1999 to 2008 reveals a small glacier mass gain in the area.
