The Alpine glaciers formation is in a strong negative phase globally. Passu Glacier in Gojal Hunza is retreating rapidly. The Alpine glaciers and the continental ice sheets in the polar regions have ...

New research has tracked the evolution of a glacier lake dammed by a surge using satellite images, to help better understand its life cycle and the hazard it presents to nearby communities. During ...

In 1995 large meltwater lake formed and developed on the surface of the 79°N Glacier. Researchers observed that over the years, this lake has caused gigantic cracks and the outflowing water is lifting ...

A new study analyzing a lake formed by a glacier surge in the Karakoram Mountains has revealed how satellite images can be used to monitor the potential for lake drainage hazards. New research has ...
