山区冰冻圈的变化影响下游社会的水安全以及依赖水的生态系统的复原力及其服务。然而，评估山区水安全需要更好地了解冰川融水与耦合的人类-自然系统之间的复杂相互作用。在这方面，我们呼吁重新调整重点，从冰川水文监测和建模转向从更广泛的流域水文学的更综合的社会生态角度。这一转变需要制定与当地相关的知识生产战略，并将这些知识纳入科学-政策-社区合作框架。这种方法与水文风险评估相结合，可以支持制定强有力的、适合当地情况的转型适应战略。
Changes in the mountain cryosphere impact the water security of downstream societies and the resilience of water-dependent ecosystems and their services. However, assessing mountain water security requires better understanding of the complex interaction between glacial meltwater and coupled human–natural systems. In this context, we call for a refocusing from glacio-hydrological monitoring and modelling to a more integrated social-ecological perspective of the wider catchment hydrology. This shift requires locally relevant knowledge-production strategies and the integration of such knowledge into a collaborative science–policy–community framework. This approach, combined with hydrological risk assessment, can support the development of robust, locally tailored and transformational adaptation strategies.
