DOI: 10.1002/esp.70063
Abstract: High mountain environments are among the regions most affected by global warming, with glacier retreat and permafrost degradation leading to significant changes in slope stability. This study investigates the spatial distribution of rockfalls above the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvrad.2019.106124
Abstract: This paper reports work exploring the potential for using the natural fallout radionuclide 210Pbex to date moraine soils for tracing glacier retreat. Based on the physical processes of 210Pbex deposition, decay and losses due to… read more here.

Threefold increase in marine-terminating outlet glacier retreat rates across the Atlantic Arctic: 1992–2010
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Annals of Glaciology"
DOI: 10.1017/aog.2017.3
Abstract: ABSTRACT Accelerated discharge through marine-terminating outlet glaciers has been a key component of the rapid mass loss from Arctic glaciers since the 1990s. However, glacier retreat and its climatic controls have not been assessed at… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-16818-0
Abstract: Mountain glaciers are known to be strongly affected by global climate change. Here we compute temporally consistent changes in glacier area, surface elevation and ice mass over the entire European Alps between 2000 and 2014.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41558-020-0863-4
Abstract: Global glacier retreat driven by climate change will have major impacts on regional water availability, as many communities rely on glacier runoff for water supply during warm and dry seasons. A community whose water resources… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-83457-6
Abstract: Knowing mechanisms that facilitate the emergence of post-glacial ecosystems is urgently required given rapid recent glacial retreat in high latitude and high elevation regions. We examined the effect of nutrient hotspots created via communal dung… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-87710-4
Abstract: Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding mountains (TPSM) have experienced prominent glacier retreat since the Global Last Glacial Maximum, while the detailed deglaciation process remains unclear. To investigate the spatiotemporal pattern of the glacier retreat history,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/15230430.2020.1822728
Abstract: ABSTRACT Venezuela will soon become the first Andean country to lose all of its glaciers, as the “eternal snows” of the Sierra Nevada de Mérida (SNM) disappear. Although documentation of glacier retreat in Venezuela commenced… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ecog.03018
Abstract: The Antarctic Peninsula is among the places on Earth that registered major warming in the last 60 years. Massive ice losses, represented by glacier retreat, ice-shelf collapses and sea-ice reduction are among the main impacts… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15055
Abstract: Abstract Rising atmospheric CO2 is intensifying climate change but it is also driving global and particularly polar greening. However, most blue carbon sinks (that held by marine organisms) are shrinking, which is important as these… read more here.
