“…Glacier coverage in the Tianchi caldera during the LGM period in the study area is 20.74 km 2 . The result shows that there is a 788 m maximum glacial thickness (Figure 6), and the volume of ice accommodated in the caldera was calculated as 9.33 km 3 . In summary, glacial coverage in the Tianchi area of the Changbai Mountains during the LGM was indicated as being at least 27.05 km 2 , with a glacial ice volume of at least 9.94 km 3 .…”

“…The altitude of the paleoglacier's surface in the Xipotingchechang Valley ranged from 2096 to 2562 m asl (Figure 4a), with a mean value of 2401 m asl. The maximum glacier thickness was calculated to have been 113 m (Figure 5b), with a mean value of 85 m. The surface area of the paleoglacier was reconstructed as 0.47 km 2 , and its volume was 0.04 km 3 . The altitude of the paleoglacier's surface in the Songjianghe Valley ranged from 1850 to 2520 m asl (Figure 5c), with a mean value of 2195 m asl.…”

“…The altitude of the paleoglacier's surface in the Heifengkou Valley was in the range of 1952~2492 m asl (Figure 5e), with a mean value of 2247 m asl. The maximum glacier thickness was reconstructed as 134 m (Figure 5f), with a mean value of 84 m. The paleoglacier's surface area shows as 0.88 km 2 , and the volume of the paleoglacier was 0.07 km 3 . The altitude of the paleoglacier's surface in the Erdaobaihe Valley was in the range of 1856~2040 m asl (Figure 5g), with a mean value of 1967 m asl.…”

“…Climate change can lead to changes in the shape, area and volume of mountain glaciers [1][2][3][4][5]. Therefore, glacial landforms with chronological evidence (e.g., terminal and lateral moraine ridges) can be used to reconstruct paleoglacial surfaces as well as paleoclimatic features for specific periods [6][7][8][9].…”

There are few studies on the climate and glacial scale in the mountains east of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. So, we used glacial features to determine the range of the area’s paleoglaciers and the equilibrium line altitude (ELA) of theGlA modern and paleoglaciers in the Tianchi area of the Changbai Mountains. Then, the GlaRe toolbox 2015 () was used to reconstruct the surface of the paleoglaciers. The probable air temperature during the glacial advances of the LGM was calculated by applying the P-T and LR models. The results showed the following: (1) the change in ELA is 950 m in the Tianchi area of the Changbai Mountains; (2) glacial coverage in the Tianchi area of the Changbai Mountains during the LGM period was ~27.05 km2 and the glacial volume was ~9.94 km3; and (3) the mean temperature in the Tianchi area of the Changbai Mountains during the LGM was 6.6–9.0 °C lower than today’s, and was the principal factor controlling the growth of glaciers. There is a difference in the climate change in monsoon-influenced mountains during the LGM, and this difference may be related to the precipitation in the mountains.

Due to the significant sedimentation and anthropogenic pressures, the Kashmir Himalaya lakes (Dal, Wular, Manasbal) located within and in the vicinity of urban settlements are experiencing massive degradation. The unique climate, geographic setting, and rock degradation owing to the tectonic uplift of the area, contribute to increased sedimentation in these lakes. The sewage and other anthropogenic pressures have also increased various minerals including nitrogen influx in these lakes. Total organic carbon levels in the Dal Lake are high and range from 2.72% to 25.12%, with nitrogen levels ranging from 0.92% to 9.81%. The total organic carbon of Wular and Manasbal Lakes ranges from 0.83% to 4.52%, and 3.11% to 13.74% with nitrogen ranging from 0.06% to 0.5% and 0.20% to 1.96%, respectively. The estimated sedimentation rates for the Wular, Manasbal, and Dal Lakes are 0.125 cm/yr, 0.44 cm/yr, and 0.93 cm/yr. Given these factors and the geographic setting of Kashmir Himalaya, it is believed that under the sustained threat of climate change and anthropogenic pressure, mitigation strategies to control sedimentation and pollution are unavoidable for the long‐term survival of these valuable ecosystems. This review examines contributing factors, explores potential consequences, and proposes mitigation measures, to save these important aquatic ecosystems from further deterioration.
