Climate change in the High Mountain Asia in CMIP6 [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2021 Climate change over High Mountain Asia (HMA, including the Tibetan Plateau) is investigated over the period 1979–2014 and in future projections following the four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways: SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5.

Towards understanding the pattern of glacier mass balances in High Mountain Asia using regional climatic modelling [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA) provide an important water resource for communities downstream, and they are markedly impacted by global warming, yet there is a lack of understanding of the observed glacier mass balances and their spatial ...

Future growth and decline of high mountain Asia's ice-dammed lakes and associated risk
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 More than 10,000 locations in High-Mountain Asia are identified as likely to host ice-dammed lakes, responsible for most of the glacier outburst floods in High-Mountain Asia, using a combination of a digital elevation model and a glacier model.

Spatial differences of ice volume across High Mountain Asia
Advances in Climate Change Research, 2023 Advanced knowledge of glacier ice volume is vital for water resource assessment. Previous studies have focused on the estimation of ice volume, but the quantitative understanding of the spatial variability of ice volume across High Mountain regions is ...

Health and sustainability of glaciers in High Mountain Asia
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
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
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

Does elevation dependent warming exist in high mountain Asia?
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 A majority of studies suggest that elevation dependent warming (EDW) has been verified in mountainous areas. However, there is some controversy about the EDW of high mountain Asia (HMA).
