Sustained growth of high mountain lakes in the headwaters of the Syr Darya River, Central Asia
The continuous rise in summer temperature and consequent glacier wastage have led to a significant loss of frozen water resources
Increasing risk of glacial lake outburst floods from future Third Pole deglaciation
Warming on Earth’s Third Pole is leading to rapid loss of ice and the formation and expansion of glacial lakes,
Addressing climate change: EU and Central Asia – A cartoon summary
A collection of cartoons on climate change, focussing on EU policies and agreements, as well as the situation in Central
Adapting to Climate Change in Eastern Europe and Central Asia
The region of Eastern Europe and Central Asia (ECA) is already experiencing the consequences of climate change: increasing variability, warmer
Modelling outburst floods from moraine-dammed glacial lakes
In response to climatic change, the size and number of moraine-dammed supraglacial and proglacial lake systems have increased dramatically in
Coupling glacial lake impact, dam breach, and flood processes: A modeling perspective
Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are highly mobile mixtures of water and sediment that occur suddenly and are capable of
Assessing the influence of the Merzbacher Lake outburst floods on discharge using the hydrological model SWIM in the Aksu headwaters, Kyrgyzstan/NW China
Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF) often have a significant impact on downstream users. Including their effects in hydrological models, identifying
THE GLACIERS ARE MELTING AND THE RIVERS ARE FLOWING
Last year confirmed a trend of many decades: the glacier mass balance for 2019-20 was negative. The balance is the
An insight into the surface velocity of Inylchek Glacier and its effect on Lake Merzbacher during 2006–2016 with Landsat time-series imagery
Mountain glacier is one of the extremely sensitive indicators for climate change, and its surface motion distribution and corresponding variation
Reconstruction of glacial lake outburst floods in northern Tien Shan: Implications for hazard assessment
Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) and related debris flows are among the most significant natural threats in the Tien Shan
TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X data for natural hazards research in mountainous regions of Uzbekistan
Accurate and up-to-date digital elevation models (DEMs) are important tools for studying mountain hazards. We considered natural hazards related to
Identification of the glaciers and mountain naturally dammed lakes in the Pskem, the Kashkadarya and the Surhandarya River basins, Uzbekistan, using ALOS satellite data
The glacierized area of Uzbekistan is represented in three river basins – the Pskem, the Kashkadarya and the Surhandarya. This
