Tectonic evolution of a continental collision zone: A thermomechanical numerical model [PDF]

, 2004
We model evolution of a continent-continent collision and draw some parallels with the tectonic evolution of the Himalaya. We use a large-scale visco-plasto-elastic thermomechanical model that has a free upper surface, accounts for erosion and deposition

Avalanche character and fatalities in the high mountains of Asia [PDF]

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
Abstract.With the exception of northern India, there are few, if any, consistent data records relating to avalanche activity in the high mountains of Asia. However, records do exist of avalanche fatalities in the region, contained in mountaineering expedition reports. In this paper, I review and analyze statistics of avalanche fatalities (both snow and

Surface ozone over High-Mountain Asia controlled by stratospheric intrusion

, 2022
Abstract. High-Mountain Asia (HMA) is a global hotspot of stratospheric intrusion, and elevated surface ozone were observed at ground monitoring sites. Still, links between the variability of surface ozone and stratospheric intrusion at regional scale remain unclear.

Developing a Typology of Korean Women Leaders' Resistance to Their Token Status in the Workplace

Human Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite remarkable economic development in South Korea (Korea), there are only a few women leaders, and they face challenges in the gendered workplace where organizational constraints and traditional values coexist. In a reanalysis of narratives of Korean women leaders (KWLs), using an ideal‐type analysis as a novel qualitative research method,
