TL;DR: This paper showed that glacier and snow melt are important components of Himalayan-Karakoram (HK) rivers, with greater hydrological importance for the Indus basin than for the Ganges and Brahmaputra basins.

The Influence of Key Climate Variables on Mass Balance of Naimona'nyi Glacier on a North-Facing Slope in the Western Himalayas
Meilin Zhu,Meilin Zhu,Wei Yang,Wei Yang,Tandong Yao,Tandong Yao,Lide Tian,Lide Tian,Lonnie G. Thompson,Huabiao Zhao,Huabiao Zhao +10 more
TL;DR: A variety of factors have been proposed to explain the spatiotemporal variability of Himalayan glaciers, including debris cover (Scherler et al., 2011), glacier-lake interactions, morphological variables, climate variability (patterns in air temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric circulation), and response of individual glaciers to climate variability.

The joint driving effects of climate and weather changes caused the Chamoli glacier-rock avalanche in the high altitudes of the India Himalaya
Yushan Zhou,Xin Li,Donghai Zheng,Zhiwei Li,Baosheng An,Yingzheng Wang,Decai Jiang,Jianbin Su,Bin Cao +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high-resolution satellite images and found that this event was actually a glacier-rock landslide, where the collapse of the rock-ice body was caused by the sliding of the bedrock beneath the glacier, for which the source area and volume loss were about 2.89×105m2 and 2.46×107m3, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Need of integrated monitoring on reference glacier catchments for future water security in Himalaya
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the integrated monitoring of a reference glacier "Chhota Shigri" catchment (western Himalaya) and highlight the importance of such monitoring network for calibration/validation of large-scale glacio-hydrological studies.

River flow forecasting through conceptual models part I — A discussion of principles☆
J.E. Nash,J.V. Sutcliffe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the principles governing the application of the conceptual model technique to river flow forecasting are discussed and the necessity for a systematic approach to the development and testing of the model is explained and some preliminary ideas suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
A manifesto for the equifinality thesis
TL;DR: The argument is made that the potential for multiple acceptable models as representations of hydrological and other environmental systems (the equifinality thesis) should be given more serious consideration than hitherto.

Equifinality, data assimilation, and uncertainty estimation in mechanistic modelling of complex environmental systems using the GLUE methodology
Keith Beven,Jim Freer +1 more
TL;DR: The generalised likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) methodology for model identification allowing for equifinality is described, and an example application to rainfall-runoff modelling is used to illustrate the methodology, including the updating of likelihood measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature index melt modelling in mountain areas
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of temperature-index methods, including glacier environments, and discuss recent advances on distributed approaches attempting to account for topographic effects in complex terrain, while retaining scarcity of data input.

A Reconciled Estimate of Glacier Contributions to Sea Level Rise: 2003 to 2009

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.
