Changes in Extreme Precipitation and Landslides Over High Mountain Asia [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 High Mountain Asia is impacted by extreme monsoonal rainfall that triggers landslides in large proportions relative to global distributions, resulting in substantial human impacts and damage to infrastructure each year.

The State of Remote Sensing Capabilities of Cascading Hazards over High Mountain Asia. [PDF]
Front Earth Sci (Lausanne), 2019 Cascading hazard processes refer to a primary trigger such as heavy rainfall, seismic activity, or snow melt, followed by a chain or web of consequences that can cause subsequent hazards influenced by a complex array of preconditions and vulnerabilities.

Health and sustainability of glaciers in High Mountain Asia [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Glaciers in High Mountain Asia are a key water resource. The authors use remote sensing data and a regional implementation of the continuity equation to quantify glacier ablation and accumulation rates for 2000–2016, and establish current climatic ...

Glacier shrinkage across High Mountain Asia [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 An assessment of glacier shrinkage (reduction of area) for all of High Mountain Asia requires a complete compilation of measured rates of change and also a methodology for objective comparison of rates.

Water Storage Trends in High Mountain Asia [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 Changes in terrestrial water storage (TWS) in High Mountain Asia (HMA) could have major societal impacts, as the region's large reservoirs of glaciers, snow, and groundwater provide a freshwater source to more than one billion people. We seek to quantify

Supraglacial debris thickness and supply rate in High-Mountain Asia [PDF]
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 Supraglacial debris in High-Mountain Asia is extensively thin and its supply rate from local topography increases with the temperature and slope of debris-supply slopes, according to analyses of remote sensing data from over 4600 glaciers.

Development of a multidecadal land reanalysis over High Mountain Asia [PDF]
Scientific DataAnthropogenic and climatic changes affect the water and energy cycles in High Mountain Asia (HMA), home to over two billion people and the largest reservoirs of freshwater outside the polar zone. Despite their significant importance for water management,

Evolving Spatially Aggregated Features from Satellite Imagery for Regional Modeling [PDF]
Parallel Problem Solving from Nature - PPSN XIV. PPSN 2016.
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 9921. Springer, Cham, 2017 Satellite imagery and remote sensing provide explanatory variables at relatively high resolutions for modeling geospatial phenomena, yet regional summaries are often desirable for analysis and actionable insight. In this paper, we propose a novel method of inducing spatial aggregations as a component of the machine learning process, yielding regional ...

Reversed Surface-Mass-Balance Gradients on Himalayan Debris-Covered Glaciers Inferred from Remote Sensing [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2020 Meltwater from the glaciers in High Mountain Asia plays a critical role in water availability and food security in central and southern Asia. However, observations of glacier ablation and accumulation rates are limited in spatial and temporal scale due ...
