The 1988 Tsambagarav earthquake (M = 6.4) initiated collapse of part of the glacier tongue and a further ice\u2013rock avalanche with an abnormal 5 km long path in Zuslan valley, Tsambagarav ridge (Mongolian Altai). Early documentation of surface effects in 1988, remote sensing and field data gathered 16 and 30 years after this event allowed for the assessment of the seismic impact on a reduction of \u201cdamaged\u201d glacier under conditions of global warming as well as estimating topography changes in this arid and seismically active area. Because of the earthquake, the glacier immediately lost 10.4 % of its area (0.1 km2 of tongue surface). Additionally, 56% of its area was lost during 1988\u20132015, shrinking much faster than neighboring glaciers of similar size and exposition. Collapse of snow\u2013ice cornice in the accumulation zone could play a key role in rapid acceleration of the detached ice block and abnormally long path of the ice\u2013rock avalanche. A large amount of debris material provided more than 16 years of ice melting. Downstream, the valley avalanche debris cover repeats the topography of underlying Pleistocene moraines, which should be considered in regional paleogeographical reconstructions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14040917","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,14]],"date-time":"2022-02-14T20:58:03Z","timestamp":1644872283000},"page":"917","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Specific Effects of the 1988 Earthquake on Topography and Glaciation of the Tsambagarav Ridge (Mongolian Altai) Based on Remote Sensing and Field Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Anna","family":"Agatova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IGM SB RAS), Koptyuga av., 3, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia"},{"name":"Research Center \u201cEurasian Integration: History, Politics, Economics\u201d, Ural Federal University, Mira Str., 19, 620002 Yekaterinburg, Russia"}]},{"given":"Roman","family":"Nepop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IGM SB RAS), Koptyuga av., 3, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia"},{"name":"Research Center \u201cEurasian Integration: History, Politics, Economics\u201d, Ural Federal University, Mira Str., 19, 620002 Yekaterinburg, Russia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6109-8652","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dmitry","family":"Ganyushkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Earth Sciences, St. Petersburg State University, Universitetskaya nab., 7\u20139, 199034 Saint Petersburg, Russia"}]},{"given":"Demberel","family":"Otgonbayar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography and Geology, Khovd University, Khovd 84153, Mongolia"}]},{"given":"Semen","family":"Griga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Earth Sciences, St. Petersburg State University, Universitetskaya nab., 7\u20139, 199034 Saint Petersburg, Russia"}]},{"given":"Ivan","family":"Ovchinnikov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IGM SB RAS), Koptyuga av., 3, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"D16107","DOI":"10.1029\/2009JD012976","article-title":"Glacier shrinkage and climatic change in the Russian Altai from the mid-20th century: An assessment using remote sensing and PRECIS regional climate model","volume":"115","author":"Shahgedanova","year":"2010","journal-title":"J.
