Meltwater temperature in streams draining Alpine glaciers (2018)
Journal Article
Williamson, R., Entwistle, N., & Collins, D. (2018). Meltwater temperature in streams draining Alpine glaciers. Science of the Total Environment, 658(Mar 19), 777-786. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.12.215

Water temperature is of considerable importance with respect to lotic habitats. Water temperature influences physical, chemical and biological conditions within river environments and is, therefore, a key determiner of the health of a river. Climate...

Regional differences in response of flow in glacier-fed Himalayan rivers to climatic warming (2006)
Journal Article
Rees, H., & Collins, D. (2006). Regional differences in response of flow in glacier-fed Himalayan rivers to climatic warming. Hydrological Processes, 20(10), 2157-2169. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.6209

River flow from glacierized areas in the Himalaya is influenced both by intra-annual variations in precipitation and energy availability, and by longer term changes in storage of water as glacier ice. High specific discharge from ice melt often domin... Read More about Regional differences in response of flow in glacier-fed Himalayan rivers to climatic warming.
