On Changes of Global Wet-bulb Temperature and Snowfall Regimes [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 To properly interpret the observed shrinkage of the Earth's cryosphere it is important to understand global changes of snowfall dominant regimes. To document these changes, three different reanalysis products of wet-bulb temperature together with observationally-based data sets are processed from 1979 to 2017.

Relaxation by thermal conduction of a magnetically confined mountain on an accreting neutron star [PDF]
, 2018 A magnetically confined mountain on the surface of an accreting neutron star simultaneously reduces the global magnetic dipole moment through magnetic burial and generates a mass quadrupole moment, which emits gravitational radiation. Previous mountain models have been calculated for idealized isothermal and adiabatic equations of state.

Tibet, the Himalaya, Asian monsoons and biodiversity - In what ways are they related? [PDF]
, 2017 Prevailing dogma asserts that the uplift of Tibet, the onset of the Asian monsoon system and high biodiversity in southern Asia are linked, and that all occurred after 23 million years ago in the Neogene. Here, spanning the last 60 million years of Earth

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 ...

Seasonal variability in a 1600 year-long ice core chemical record, Pamir Mountains, Central Asia [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Targeted ultra-high resolution Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analysis of an ice core drilled in the Pamir Mountains of Central Asia (CA) records changes in seasonal patterns of atmospheric circulation and moisture delivery to CA over the past 1600 years. Fe, Ca, and Mg signals in the LNC3 Pamir ice core reflect
