TL;DR: This article provided an overview and analysis of the main observational datasets compiled by the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) and showed that the rates of early 21st-century mass loss are without precedent on a global scale, at least for the time period observed and probably also for recorded history.

TL;DR: The State of the Climate for 2013 as discussed by the authors is a very low-resolution file and it can be downloaded in a few minutes for a high-resolution version of the report to download.

TL;DR: Patagonian glacial geomorphology and recalibrated chronological data were used to generate new empirical reconstructions of the Patagonian Ice Sheet (PIS) and subsequent ice masses and ice-dammed palaeolakes as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In 2017, the dominant greenhouse gases released into Earth's atmosphere-carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide-reached new record highs. as mentioned in this paper The annual global average carbon dioxide concentration at Earth's surface for 2017 was 405.0 ± 0.1 ppm, 2.2 ppm greater than for 2016 and the highest in the modern atmospheric measurement record and in ice core records dating back as far as 800 000 years.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the relationship between iceberg calving rates and water depth has been completed for 22 tidewater glaciers and a linear relationship with a correlation coefficient of 0.85 has been found.
