Glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) is a serious hazard in high, mountainous regions. In the Himalayas, catastrophic risks of GLOFs have increased in recent years because most Himalayan glaciers have experienced remarkable downwasting under a warming climate. However, current knowledge about the distribution and recent changes in glacial lakes within the central Himalaya mountain range is still ...

[1] A physical mechanism is proposed for the glacial-interglacial variations in the rate of vertical mixing and in sea ice cover in the Southern Ocean. Such variations were postulated without an explanation by Toggweiler [1999] and Stephens and Keeling [2000], who used them to explain the glacial-interglacial CO2 variations. In the physical mechanism explored here, initially given by Gildor and...

Over the past few decades, glaciers worldwide have been retreating, resulting in changes in water resources with direct socio-environmental impacts. The flow of glaciers is intrinsically linked to the morphology and dynamics of sub-glacial water. However, these sub-glacial processes remain largely mysterious, and current techniques of modeling the glacial flow based on these sub-glacial structu...
