1. Introduction: human-environment dynamics in the high-mountain cryosphere Christian Huggel, Mark Carey, John J. Clague and Andreas Kaeaeb; Part I. Global Drivers: 2. Influence of climate variability and large-scale circulation on the mountain cryosphere Imtiaz Rangwala, Nick Pepin, Mathias Vuille and James Miller; 3. Temperature, precipitation, and related extremes Nadine Salzmann, Simon C. Scherrer, Simon Allen and Mario Rohrer; 4. Snow and avalanches Sven Fuchs, Margreth Keiler and Sergey Sokratov; 5. The frozen frontier: the extractives super cycle in a time of glacier recession Jeffrey Bury; 6. Cultural values of glaciers Christine Jurt, Julie Brugger, Katherine W. Dunbar, Kerry Milch and Ben Orlove; Part II. Processes: 7. Implications for hazard and risk of seismic and volcanic responses to climate change in the high-mountain cryosphere Bill McGuire; 8. Catastrophic mass wasting in high mountains Oliver Korup and Stuart Dunning; 9. Glacier- and permafrost-related slope instabilities Michael Krautblatter and Kerry Leith; 10. Erosion and sediment flux in mountain watersheds Dieter Rickenmann and Matthias Jakob; 11. Glaciers as water resources Bryan Mark, Michel Baraer, Alfonso Fernandez, Walter Immerzeel, R. Daniel Moore and Rolf Weingartner; 12. Glacier floods Duncan Quincey and Jonathan Carrivick; 13. Ecosystem change in high tropical mountains Kenneth Young; Part III. Consequences and Responses: 14. The honour of the snow-mountains is the snow: Tibetan livelihoods in a changing climate Hildegard Diemberger, Astrid Hovden and Emily T. Yeh; 15. Ice-clad volcanoes Richard Waitt, Benjamin R. Edwards and Andrew G. Fountain; 16. Debris-flow activity from high-elevation, periglacial environments Markus Stoffel and Cristoph Graf; 17. Contextualizing conflict: vital waters and competing values in glaciated environments Adam French, Javiera Barandiaran and Costanza Rampini; Part IV. Conclusions: 18. Synthesis and conclusions: the future of high-mountain cryospheric research Mark Carey, Christian Huggel, John J. Clague and Andreas Kaeaeb.
