Long‐Term Snow Avalanche Trends in High Mountain Asia: Climatic Drivers and Impacts
Abstract Devastating snow avalanches are frequent in High Mountain Asia (HMA) yet remain undocumented with climate change impact drivers poorly understood. Here we introduce the first record of 60 million avalanche deposits across 10,701 small catchments, compiled from 33 years of Landsat data from 1990 until 2022 using a snow index.

The Pamir is located on the northwestern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, which is an area of intense continental deformation and part of the famous India–Himalaya collision zone. The dominant structural deformation in the eastern Pamir is characterized by

Abstract Understanding how spatially variable mountain‐building processes proceed within large intracontinental orogens provides critical insights into continental tectonics and regional paleoenvironmental evolution. Here, we address this issue in the central South Tian Shan (cSTS), a key transitional segment between the well‐studied eastern and ...

High-resolution leaf wax carbon and hydrogen isotopic record of the late Holocene paleoclimate in arid Central Asia [PDF]
Central Asia is located at the confluence of large-scale atmospheric circulation systems. It is thus likely to be highly susceptible to changes in the dynamics of those systems; however, little is still known about the regional paleoclimate history. Here

Evolution and variability of the Asian monsoon and its potential linkage with uplift of the Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
© 2016, Tada et al. Uplift of the Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau (HTP) and its linkage with the evolution of the Asian monsoon has been regarded as a typical example of a tectonic–climate linkage.

Reduced Future Summer Water Availability in the Tien Shan Due To Glacier Wastage
Abstract Glaciers in the Tien Shan mountains of Central Asia are a crucial source of freshwater for agriculture and local communities, sustaining over 100 million people in the region. Here, we project future water availability for this region by dynamically modeling the evolution of all glaciers and merging their runoff with hydrological runoff ...

Genetic origins and climate‐induced erosion in economically important Asian walnuts
Abstract The global climate is undergoing unprecedented changes, posing significant threats to species persistence. However, the spatiotemporal impacts on genetic diversity remain poorly understood, hindering species conservation and management. Walnuts, generally referred to as Juglans regia and J. sigillata, are economically vital in Asia, but little

Question of (re)classification of Eastern Iranian languages
The Eastern Iranian languages are traditionally divided into two subgroups: the South and the North Eastern Iranian languages. An important factor for the determination of the North Eastern and the South Eastern Iranian groups is the presence of ...

Conservation grounded in traditional ecological knowledge, culture and hunting
Abstract For millennia, traditional hunting practices have provided a means of subsistence for numerous indigenous peoples worldwide. Not only do managed traditional hunting practices perpetuate Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), but they also promote the sustainable utilization of natural resources.
