CIRES graduate student Ulyana Horodyskyj's captured a glacial lake in the Himalaya losing the equivalent of 42 Olympic-size swimming pools of water overnight when she installed three cameras in the glacier walls. Horodyskyj is investigating how lakes atop of glaciers in Himalaya could contribute to the deflation of glaciers in the region. Read more about her research in BBC, LiveScience, Scientific American and the National Geographic News.
