Impacts of climate change on the cryosphere, hydrological regimes and glacial lakes of the Hindu Kush Himalayas: a review of current knowledge [1]

The climate, cryosphere, and hydrology of the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region have changed in the past and will change in the future. This literature review investigates the state of knowledge on climate change and its projected impact on the cryosphere and hydrology of the HKH, with a specific focus on the implications for
