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 ...

Diverging Trends in Rain‐On‐Snow Over High Mountain Asia [PDF]
Earth's Future, 2023 Rain‐on‐snow (ROS) over snow‐dominated regions such as High Mountain Asia (HMA) modulates snowmelt and runoff and is key contributor in influencing water availability and hazards (e.g., floods and landslides). We studied the trends in ROS in HMA over the

Warming, increase in precipitation, and irrigation enhance greening in High Mountain Asia [PDF]
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 Greening in high mountain Asia between 2003 and 2020 was driven by warming at high elevations, increased precipitation in forested regions and enhanced irrigation in croplands, according to a multivariate analysis of remote sensing data.

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
