Karte zeigt künftige Entwicklung von 215.543 Gletschern weltweit
Ob #Alpen, #Anden oder der #Himalaya: In den Gebirgen weltweit tauen die #Gletscher, die durch den #Klimawandel steigenden Temperaturen lassen die Eisströme immer stärker schrumpfen. In den deutschen Alpen hat der Südliche #Schneeferner bereits 2022 seinen Gletscherstatus verloren, viele andere Berggletscher weltweit sind bereits verschwunden.
Doch wann droht dieses Schicksal den noch verbliebenen Berggletschern? Das zeigt nun eine interaktive Karte im Internet für mehr als 200.000 Gletscher weltweit. „Globale Zahlen, etwa zum Verlust an Gletschermasse oder -fläche, können sehr abstrakt wirken. Mit dieser Website können Menschen in ihr eigenes Tal oder ihre Bergregion hineinzoomen und sehen, wie sich die Erwärmung auf die ihnen vertrauten Gletscher auswirkt“, erklärt Lander Van Tricht von der ETH Zürich und der Frien Universität Brüssel.

“This work highlight that the large interannual variability in glacier mass balance is largely associated with fluctuations in accumulation and ablation driven by extreme precipitation events across the Himalaya. These events can temporarily offset annual ice losses by enhancing snow accumulation…”

“HIGHLIGHTS:
• Annual-to-decadal relationships between glacier surface mass balance and extreme precipitation events (EPEs) were identified and analyzed for the western Himalaya.
• Although negative mass balance dominates in the region, extreme precipitation events (0–5/year) are linked to less negative and positive mass balance years through increased snowfall.
• NAO/AO phases increase Western Disturbance frequency/intensity, promoting accumulation; Western Disturbances (60.2%) control EPEs with wintertime snowfall.
ABSTRACT: Extreme precipitation events can drive anomalous snow accumulation on Himalayan glaciers, thereby affecting short-term variations in mass balance. Over the past five decades, an accelerated mass loss of Himalayan glaciers has been observed, making it critical to assess the role of precipitation, particularly extreme events in modulating glacier health. This study compiles 182 in situ glacier-wide mass-balance observations from 26 glaciers in the western Himalaya, India, from 1974 to 2023. Observing an alarming negative cumulative mass balance of around −26 ± 1.67 m w.e., with more frequent years in recent decades showing negative mass balance exceeding −1.5 m w.e. / a, highlights the ongoing severity of glacier mass loss. However, over several years, there have been relative mass-balance gains or reduced losses, often linked to extreme precipitation events (EPEs), with annual fluctuations between 0 and 5 events. Cross-correlation analysis supports this, showing a direct response of glacier mass balance to EPEs variability. The EPEs are mainly fed by moisture supply from Western Disturbances (60.2%), followed by the Indian Summer Monsoon (16.4%), cyclogenesis (6.3%), and WD–cyclogenesis interactions (4.6%), while other synoptic systems account for the remaining ∼12%, together driving strong moisture convergence and severe precipitation episodes. These synoptic drivers determine the frequency and intensity of EPEs and influence the precipitation phase snow versus rain, thus impacting accumulation and melt processes differently. Statistical evidence indicates that EPEs temporarily increase accumulation, counteracting seasonal mass losses in certain years with moderate same-year sensitivity…”

🌍 Eine schwere Sturzflut im #Himalaya hat in #Nepal innerhalb weniger Minuten ganze Orte verwüstet. Hunderte Menschen kamen ums Leben, viele Familien verloren Angehörige, ihr Zuhause und ihre Existenzgrundlage. Benötigt werden jetzt Lebensmittel, sauberes Wasser, Hygieneartikel, medizinische Versorgung und sichere Unterkünfte.

Nearly 1,000 are missing in #Nepal and #Tibet after catastrophic #floods caused by a #glacial collapse
https://apnews.com/article/climate-change-nepal-tibet-glacier-collapse-floods-61b592d428e4631add31ce052d0daf1fThe steep slopes and the lush valleys below the Himalayan mountain range are especially vulnerable to flooding and landslides, and extreme weather events like intense monsoons and melting glaciers have become more common because of warming due to human-caused #climatechange. Researchers in Kathmandu found earlier this year that glaciers across the Hindu Kush #Himalaya region are melting faster, with ice loss rates doubling since 2000.

“For years, the biggest climate warning from the Himalaya was easy to picture because glaciers were shrinking on the roof of Asia. Now, researchers are pointing to a quieter signal, one that can look almost harmless from a distance. The mountains are getting greener.
New research [link above] shows alpine vegetation moving higher across six Himalayan regions from 1999 to 2022, pushed in part by warming and reduced snow depth. That might sound like nature recovering, but in this fragile landscape, more plant cover at extreme heights may change how snow is stored, how water runs downhill, and how rivers behave for communities far below…”

Der diesjährige #Monsun im #Himalaya-Raum wird heißer und nasser als üblich.
Laut International Center for Integrated Mountain Development drohen vermehrt #Überschwemmungen, #Erdrutsche und Gletscherabgänge.
Temperaturen bis zu zwei Grad über dem Durchschnitt und starke #Regenfälle erhöhen das Risiko für Millionen Menschen. Besonders gefährdet sind Regionen mit unkontrollierter Bebauung.

"
Am 3.10.2023 stürzten 14,7 Millionen Kubikmeter gefrorenes Moränenmaterial in den südlichen Lhonak-See im östlichen Himalaya und lösten eine bis zu 20 Meter hohe Flutwelle aus. Ein internationales Team mit UZH-Beteiligung untersuchte Ursachen und Folgen – ein eindrückliches Beispiel für die zunehmenden Klimarisiken in Hochgebirgsregionen.
