Glacier‐Climate Feedbacks Modulate Last Glacial Maximum Dust Cycle Over the Third Pole

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Geological records indicate only a modest Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) increase in dust deposition over the Third Pole (TP), in contrast to the order‐of‐magnitude rise at high latitudes. Existing climate simulations, which generally prescribe present‐day or no TP glaciers, have struggled to reproduce this muted response.

Melt‐Regulated Crustal Kinematics in the Pamir, NW Tibetan Plateau: Insights From Surface‐Wave Tomography

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract The Pamir, located at the northwestern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, is undergoing E–W extension within its interior, accommodated by micro‐block motions along major fault systems; however, the mechanisms governing this modern block kinematics remain elusive.

Numerical modelling of the stress in the Pamir-Hindu Kush region

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2022
The current stress state of the Earth's crust in Central Asia depends entirely on the interaction of the Eurasian plate with the Indian and Arabian plates.

Current and Future Distributions of Allium karataviense and A. turkestanicum in Central Asia Using MaxEnt Modeling

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The study used Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) modeling to assess the current and future potential distributions of Allium karataviense Regel and A. turkestanicum Regel. The modeling was conducted under three climate change scenarios (SSP1‐2.6, SSP2‐4.5, and SSP5‐8.5) across three future periods, 2030s, 2070s, and 2090s. Based on the results, the Western Tien

Quantifying Deep Groundwater Contributions to Streamflow With Inequality‐Constrained EEMMA From Sparse Isotope Series in Alpine Permafrost Basins

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract In alpine permafrost basins, dry‐season runoff largely depends on subpermafrost groundwater (BPG, deep groundwater), yet cryohydrogeological conditions are complicated by time‐varying hydrothermal regimes. Combined with the storage and regulation effects of permafrost on runoff, hydrograph‐based estimates of the fractional contribution of BPG ...

Triassic High-Mg Diorites and Granitoids in the NE Pamir Reveal Tectonic Evolution of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean [PDF]

Lithosphere
The Western Kunlun-Pamir Orogen (WKPO) in the northwestern Tibetan Plateau holds crucial information on the Tethyan evolution. Until now, the subduction polarity and the assemblage processes of the Northern, Central, and Southern Pamir during the Paleo ...

Trait–Climate Relationships Are Comparable for Modern Pollen Assemblages and Extant Vegetation Plots

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Reliable climate simulations require comparison with robust reconstructions of past climates, often based on fossil pollen assemblages. This is particularly critical in drylands, where climate models frequently diverge. Yet, traditional pollen‐based reconstructions often overlook the mechanistic links between climate and plant functioning,

Phylogenomic insights into the genus Tulipa (Liliaceae): Taxonomy, evolution, and biogeography

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Premise Tulips are one of the best‐known geophytes, but their taxonomy remains convoluted and their evolutionary history poorly understood. Here, we used plastid genomes to identify some issues with current classification, understand the diversification history of the genus, and identify potential species linked to historical cultivation ...
