Despite several regional glacier and glacier lake inventories, the relationship between re-ceding glacier, glacial lake evolution (glacial-lake interactions) and their sensitivity to different forcing factors have not been properly understood yet. To better understand these processes, we used satellite images collected in 1994, 2015 and 2017 to monitor the spatially-explicit evolution of glacial lakes and glacier changes. The results show a total of 1353 glacial lakes covering an area of 7.96 km2 in the year 2015. Out of these, a total of 137 glacial lakes having an area of >0.01 km2 and located within 2 km pe-riphery of mother glacier have been selected for the monitoring of spatial development between 1994 and 2017. We found an increase in the total lake area from ～4.9 to ～7.73 km2 between 1994 and 2017, corresponding to an overall expansion of ～57％. The total area covered by the glaciers associated with these lakes reduced from ～365 km2 in 1994 to ～358 km2 in 2017, accounting for a glacier loss of ～7 km2 and corresponding to ～1.92％ reduction. Our study results are in agreement with global glacier behav-ior, revealing a rapid glacier recession and accelerated glacial lake expansion under an unprecedented climate change scenario. In addition, the results suggest a significant reduction in the glacier area and a close relationship between the glacier melting and lake changes.

The rare earth elements (REE) are critical raw materials for much of modern technology, particularly renewable energy infrastructure and electric vehicles that are vital for the energy transition. Many of the world\'s largest REE deposits occur in alkal
The origin of low δ18O signals in zircons from the Early Cretaceous A-type granites in east- ern China has long been disputed. It is uncertain whether the 18O-depleted features were inherited from high-temperature hydrothermal altered source rock or resul
Dehydration melting of metasupracrustal rocks at mid- to deep-crustal levels can gener-ate water undersaturated granitic melt. In this study, we evaluate the potential of ～1.89–1.88 Ga me-tasupracrustal rocks of the Precambrian of southern Finland as sour

Fractional crystallization of parental magmas of shoshonitic or silica-saturated, ultrapotas- sic affinity, with variable amount of concurrent crustal assimilation, may result in granitic and syenitic rocks. Typical plutonic members of the shoshonitic ser
It is difficult to date a brittle fault because of the absence of effective dating methods. Re-cently, calcite U-Pb dating has drawn the attention of many researchers and has been successfully ap-plied to constrain the age of brittle deformation. The Sout
