主　　题：Glacier Climate warming Carbon release Tibetan Plateau 

摘      要：The critical challenge of ongoing climate warming is resulting in glacier melting globally,a process accompanied by the formation of substantial glacier *** phenomenon emerges as a pivotal area of study,especially in the Tibetan Plateau(TP),known as the Third Pole and the Asian Water *** particular,the rapid retreat of temperate glaciers in the southeastern TP has led to the formation of expansive glacier *** forelands are not merely evidence of climate shifts but are also key areas for transformative carbon ***,the newly exposed land surface actively adjusts the balance of dissolved organic carbon,especially in meltwater,and influences the release of greenhouse gases from a range of sources including glacial lakes,subglacial sediments,and supraglacial/proglacial *** processes play a crucial role in the dynamics of atmospheric carbon *** from our intensive and detailed observations over several years,this perspective not only emphasizes the importance of the underexplored impact of glacier forelands on carbon cycles but also opens a window into understanding potential future trajectories in a warming world.
