An attempt has been made to characterize the subglacial pathways that transport the meltwaters from Chaturangi and Raktavarn glaciers through the lower ablation zone of the Gangotri glacier, Indian Himalaya, by means of dye tracer experiments.

This study focuses on the present-day surface elevation of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. Based on 3 years of CryoSat-2 data acquisition we derived new elevation models (DEMs) as well as elevation change maps and volume change estimates for both ice sheets. Here we present the new DEMs and their corresponding error maps. The accuracy of the derived DEMs for Greenland and Antarctica is similar to those of previous DEMs obtained by satellite-based laser and radar altimeters.

The Purog Kangri glacier is the third largest glacier in the world and research shows that global warming is exerting its negative influence

The new research has found that New Zealand is slowly losing its glaciers and could lead to severe decline in the coming years.

New Zealand’s vast Southern Alps mountain range has lost a third of its permanent snow and ice over the past four decades, diminishing some of the country’s most spectacular glaciers, new research

Uttarakhand has 76 dams in the ecologically fragile regions.

The Himalayan region contains some of the most dynamic, fragile and complex mountain ranges in the world. These magnificent mountain ranges play an important role in global atmospheric circulation, the hydrological cycle, and water resources availability, provide a wide range of ecosystem services, and are a source of many hazards.

Despite retreating glaciers, the amount of water supplied by the Himalayan Mountains will increase in the coming decades, a study from FutureWater, Utrecht University and the International Centre f

Media storms attacking the science of climate change have only a fleeting effect on the public's interest and do not appear to alter opinions, according to new research.
