Abstract

Abstract Mountain glaciers are crucial sources of fresh water, contributing directly and indirectly to water, energy and food supplies for hundreds of millions of people. Assessing the impact of diminishing glacial meltwater contributions to the security of this resource is critical as we seek to manage and adapt to changing freshwater dynamics in a warming world. Both water quantity and quality influence water (in)security, so understanding the fluxes of water, sediment and contaminants through glacial and proglacial systems is required for holistic assessment of meltwater contribution to downstream resource security. In this paper we consider the socio-environmental role of and pressures on glacier-fed waters, discuss key research priorities for the assessment of both the quantity and quality of meltwater and reflect on the importance of situating our understanding within a transdisciplinary and inclusive research landscape.

冰川对山区水、能源和粮食安全的贡献:当前观点和未来优先事项
摘要山区冰川是淡水的重要来源,直接和间接地为数亿人提供了水、能源和粮食供应。在我们寻求管理和适应全球变暖中不断变化的淡水动态时,评估冰川融水对这一资源安全的影响至关重要。水量和水质都会影响水的安全,因此需要了解水、沉积物和污染物通过冰川和前冰川系统的通量,以全面评估融水对下游资源安全的贡献。在本文中,我们考虑了冰川补给水的社会环境作用和压力,讨论了评估融水数量和质量的关键研究重点,并反思了将我们的理解置于跨学科和包容性研究视野中的重要性。

期刊介绍: Annals of Glaciology publishes original scientific articles and letters in selected aspects of glaciology-the study of ice. Each issue of the Annals is thematic, focussing on a specific subject. The Council of the International Glaciological Society welcomes proposals for thematic issues from the glaciological community. Once a theme is approved, the Council appoints an Associate Chief Editor and a team of Scientific Editors to handle the submission, peer review and publication of papers.
