This paper presents an overview of the evidence presented in separate papers in this Special issue relating to glacier fluctuations in southernmost South America. The AA. examine new geomorphological, chronological and modelling data on glacier
fluctuations in southernmost South America in latitudes 46-55°S during the last glacial-interglacial transition. Establishing leads and lags between the northern and southern hemispheres and between southern mid-latitudes and Antarctica is key
to an appreciation of the mechanisms and resilience of global climate.

Results of the impact of climate change on water resources in 4 countries in South Asia. Under present socio-economic and climatic conditions, China, India, Pakistan and South Korea are facing water deficits. The characteristic feature of water
management in South Asia is the dominating role of agriculture in water use. The key question addressed in the paper is the impact of climate change on water resources, and the adaptive measures that may be used to cope with water deficits. In all
