TPE Researchers Find 'Invisible' Underwater Glacier Loss in the Himalayas

Friday, April 7, 2023

The research, which combines multi-temporal satellite data with bathymetric measurements, offers valuable insights into the growing issue of subaqueous mass loss in the Himalaya.

Key Points: 
  • The research, which combines multi-temporal satellite data with bathymetric measurements, offers valuable insights into the growing issue of subaqueous mass loss in the Himalaya.
  • This oversight was largely due to the limitations of satellite imaging in detecting underwater changes, which has led to a knowledge gap in our understanding of the full extent of glacier loss.
  • "By accounting for the mass loss from lake-terminating glaciers, we can more accurately assess the specific annual mass balance of these glaciers compared to land-terminating ones, which further highlights the accelerated glacier mass loss across the greater Himalaya."
  • Title of the original paper: Underestimated mass loss from lake-terminating glaciers in the greater Himalaya
