Changes of the equilibrium-line altitude since the Little Ice Age in the Nepalese Himalaya

Changes of the equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) since the end of the Little Ice Age (LIA) in eastern Nepal have been studied using glacier inventory data. The toe-to-headwall altitude ratios (THARs) for individual glaciers, were calculated for 1992, and used to estimate the ELA in 1959 and at the end...
