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

TL;DR: This study assessed spatiotemporal changes at Gya Glacier, the associated development of a proglacial lake, and reconstructed the 2014 outburst flood that struck Gya Village in the Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh, India, and modeled a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood for the first time.

Identifying contribution of snowmelt and glacier melt to the Bhagirathi River (Upper Ganga) near snout of the Gangotri Glacier using environmental isotopes

TL;DR: In this paper, the fractional contributions of snowmelt, glacier melt and direct runoff to the Bhagirathi River were estimated on ten daily and monthly time intervals for the ablation period (May to September) of 2005 using environmental isotope (δ2H, δ18O and 3H) techniques.

Topographic and climatic influence on seasonal snow cover: Implications for the hydrology of ungauged Himalayan basins, India

TL;DR: In this article, an estimation of seasonal snow cover distribution, topographic (elevation, aspect, and slope) and climatic variability was carried out using satellite data and meteorological observations from three automatic weather stations (AWSs) located at different elevations in an ungauged Himalayan basins (UHB) (Chorabari Glacier).

Isotopic Variations in Meteoric Waters

TL;DR: The relationship between deuterium and oxygen-18 concentrations in natural meteoric waters from many parts of the world has been determined with a mass spectrometer and shows a linear correlation over the entire range for waters which have not undergone excessive evaporation.

Oxygen and hydrogen isotopes in the hydrologic cycle

TL;DR: In this article, the isotope fractionations that accompany the evaporation from the ocean and other surface waters and the reverse process of rain formation account for the most notable changes.

Global climatic interpretation of the deuterium‐oxygen 18 relationship for precipitation

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model is derived to account for the deuterium-oxygen 18 relationship measured in meteoric waters, where a steady state regime is assumed for the evaporation of water at the ocean surface and the subsequent formation of precipitation.
