  abstract = {{W}e present a comprehensive review of the status and changes in glacier length (since the 1850s), area and mass (since the 1960s) along the {H}imalayan-{K}arakoram ({HK}) region and their climate-change context. {A} quantitative reliability classification of the field-based mass-balance series is developed. {G}laciological mass balances agree better with remotely sensed balances when we make an objective, systematic exclusion of likely flawed mass-balance series. {T}he {H}imalayan mean glaciological mass budget was similar to the global average until 2000, and likely less negative after 2000. {M}ass wastage in the {H}imalaya resulted in increasing debris cover, the growth of glacial lakes and possibly decreasing ice velocities. {G}eodetic measurements indicate nearly balanced mass budgets for {K}arakoram glaciers since the 1970s, consistent with the unchanged extent of supraglacial debris-cover. {H}imalayan glaciers seem to be sensitive to precipitation partly through the albedo feedback on the short-wave radiation balance. {M}elt contributions from {HK} glaciers should increase until 2050 and then decrease, though a wide range of present-day area and volume estimates propagates large uncertainties in the future runoff. {T}his review reflects an increasing understanding of {HK} glaciers and highlights the remaining challenges.},
