  • Lakes fed by melting and retreating glaciers are becoming important freshwater reservoirs, and their value depends on their storage capacity and sedimentation-dependent lifespan. This study estimates the volumes and lifespans of >70,000 glacial lakes globally as of 2020, improving our understanding on the potential of these lakes and the sustainable use of these reservoirs.

  • Inventory data from more than 1 million trees across African, Amazonian and Southeast Asian tropical forests suggests that, despite their high diversity, just 1,053 species, representing a consistent ~2.2% of tropical tree species in each region, constitute half of Earth’s 800 billion tropical trees.

  • The origins of Alpine valleys are controversial. Topographic data from the Swiss Alps suggest that the valleys have been incised progressively during consecutive glacial–interglacial cycles.

  • Millions of people each year are forcibly displaced due to floods. Mester et al. show that measures of human development and rural areas are more important than GDP per capita in explaining the varying vulnerability to such displacement.

  • By quantifying changes in lake area before glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) worldwide from 1990 to 2023, this study shows that despite the overall growth in total lake area and hazard potential, pre-GLOF lake areas barely changed or even decreased regionally and are dependent on a decreasing number of ice-dammed lakes.

  • Landslide erosion is a primary control of landscape relief. A wide-ranging analysis of landslide geometry shows that soil-based landslides are generally less voluminous than landslides that involve the failure of bedrock, and provides refined metrics for estimating the volume of a landslide from the area of the failure

  • The size distribution and hazard of Earth’s largest terrestrial landslides vary distinctively with dominant topographic settings, with volcanoes and fault-bounded range fronts releasing the largest landslide volumes, according to analysis of Bayesian regression models of 411 large landslides.

  • An assessment of ice-dam failures in six mountain regions shows that extreme peak flows and volumes have declined sharply since 1900, and that ice-dam floods today originate at higher elevations and earlier in the year.

  • The combination of topography, as a driver for extreme precipitation, and slope instability from seismicity contributed to the compound hazard of post-seismic rainfall-induced landslides, according to an analysis of precipitation and landslide data.

  • Melting glaciers are increasing Himalayan glacial lakes and potentially the risk of outburst floods. An advanced automated algorithm identifies glacial lake outburst floods from Landsat images since the late 1980s to improve understanding of these events and trends in their frequency.
