Sub-regional variability in the influence of ice-contact lakes on Himalayan glaciers

Sub-regional variability in the influence of ice-contact lakes on Himalayan glaciers

Ice-contact lakes modify glacier geometry and dynamics by shifting the majority of mass loss from the ice surface to the terminus. Lake-terminating glaciers are known to experience greater thinning rates and higher velocities than land-terminating glaciers, but the controls on variability in surface...
