Spatial Variability in Patterns of Glacier Change across the Manaslu Range, Central Himalaya

Spatial Variability in Patterns of Glacier Change across the Manaslu Range, Central Himalaya

This study assesses changes in glacier area, velocity, and geodetic mass balance for the glaciers in the Manaslu region of Nepal, a previously undocumented region of the Himalayas. We studied changes between 1970 (for select glaciers), 2000, 2005, and 2013 using freely available Landsat satellite im...
