Excerpt

Glaciers in Asia occupy nowadays much smaller extents than those of the Pleistocene but they still play an important role in alpine ecosystems (e.g., Shahgedanova 2002). Glaciers also pose hazards to society and infrastructure, with avalanches and glacial lake outburst floods being the most destructive of glacier-related natural events (Richardson and Reynolds 2000; Janský et al. 2010; Nie et al. 2013; Wang and Zhang 2014). …
