The GAMDAM glacier inventory: a quality-controlled inventory of Asian glaciers [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2015
We present a new glacier inventory for high-mountain Asia named "Glacier Area Mapping for Discharge from the Asian Mountains" (GAMDAM). Glacier outlines were delineated manually using 356 Landsat ETM+ scenes in 226 path-row sets from the period 1999–2003,

A Systematic, Regional Assessment of High Mountain Asia Glacier Mass Balance

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
High-mountain Asia (HMA) constitutes the largest glacierized region outside of the Earth's polar regions. Although available observations are limited, long-term records indicate sustained HMA glacier mass loss since ~1850, with accelerated loss in recent

Assessing groundwater sustainability across high mountain Asia using remote sensing

Environmental Research Letters
Understanding long-term evolution of groundwater storage (GWS) is critical for water security in high mountain Asia (HMA), where hydrological systems are heavily dependent on glacier-fed recharges.

Unraveling the complexities of rain-on-snow events in High Mountain Asia

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
Rain-on-snow (ROS) events, defined as rainfall on a snow-covered landscape, pose a significant flood risk. While climate change is altering precipitation patterns and snow cover in High Mountain Asia (HMA), our understanding of ROS patterns and their ...

Will high heatwave risk be the new normal over high-elevation regions of northwestern High Mountain Asia in the future?

Environmental Research Communications
The rise in temperature as a consequence of climate change has significantly impacted the environmental, social, and economic systems worldwide, especially over complex terrains like High Mountain Asia (HMA). Assessment of the associated climate risks is

Constructing dataset of classified drainage areas based on surface water-supply patterns in High Mountain Asia

Big Earth Data, 2020
The High Mountain Asia (HMA) region, ranging from the Hindu Kush and Tien Shan in the west to the Himalaya in the south with an altitude between 2000 and 8844 m, holds the largest reservoir of glaciers and snow outside Earth Polar Regions.

Pond Dynamics and Supraglacial-Englacial Connectivity on Debris-Covered Lirung Glacier, Nepal

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2017
The hydrological systems of heavily-downwasted debris-covered glaciers differ from those of clean-ice glaciers due to the hummocky surface and debris mantle of such glaciers, leading to a relatively limited understanding of drainage pathways ...

Deriving Bias and Uncertainty in MERRA-2 Snowfall Precipitation Over High Mountain Asia

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
A Bayesian approach to estimate bias and uncertainty in snowfall precipitation from MERRA-2 and other precipitation products was applied over High Mountain Asia (HMA), using a newly developed snow reanalysis method.
