The two papers don't mention any velocity changes due to increased slope, but they do record that at elevations above 1500 - 2000 m, the ice has been growing in thickness by about 5 - 6 cm / yr, whereas below the 1500m level there's been a thinning of about -2 cm / yr.

While glacier melt contributes water to the region's rivers and streams, retreating glaciers over the next several decades are unlikely to cause significant change in water availability at lower elevations, which depend primarily on monsoon precipitation and snowmelt, the committee said.
