Abstract

The Tibetan Plateau and surrounding mountains contain the largest glacier storage outsides the north and south polar regions. Under the global warming, recently glaciers in China are generally experiencing rapid melting and shrinkage. This rapid glacier change impacts the water resource that supplied by melt-water, and also favors glacial hazards, such as glacier collapse, glacier surging, glacial debris flow, and glacial lake outburst flood. Those glacial hazards show their spatio-temporal distribution characters, dynamic processes and mechanisms. Accompanying with the recent rapid glacier change, which reduces the glacier stability by warming, glacial hazards become more frequent. Furthermore, since global warming continues and human activity intensifies, the uncertainty and risk of glacial disasters will intensify. Therefore, scientific solution and countermeasures are needed based on the researches on glacial changes and hazards.
