Global Challenges, EarlyView.This study examines climate change impacts on heating‐cooling demand and carbon footprint in Central Asia (CA). As icing and frost days decrease, cooling needs will rise, especially in Kyrgyzstan. However, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan maintain lower CO2 emissions due to renewables. Cooling‐related emissions in CA may rise by 41%–80%, highlighting the need

Refined climatologies of future precipitation over High Mountain Asia using probabilistic ensemble learning [PDF]
arXivHigh Mountain Asia holds the largest concentration of frozen water outside the polar regions, serving as a crucial water source for more than 1.9 billion people. In the face of climate change, precipitation represents the largest source of uncertainty for hydrological modelling in this area.

TAXON, Volume 71, Issue 6, Page 1268-1286, December 2022., 2022 Abstract The Carthamus‐Carduncellus complex is formed by approximately 50 taxa that are widely distributed throughout the Mediterranean basin and western Asia. The generic delineation of this complex has always been controversial. Currently, there are three widely diverging taxonomical proposals, suggesting that the complex is formed by (1) a single ...

Warming triggers snowfall fraction loss Thresholds in High-Mountain Asia
npj Climate and Atmospheric ScienceGlobal warming is accelerating climate disasters by triggering tipping points in various Earth systems. Although changes in precipitation patterns in High-Mountain Asia (HMA) have been extensively studied, the specific thresholds that trigger rapid ...

Growth of mountain belts in central Asia triggers a new collision zone in central India
Scientific Reports, 2018 Several unusual strong earthquakes occurred in central India along the Narmada-Son Lineament (NSL) zone, far from active plate boundaries. To understand the role of collisional processes in the origin of this seismicity, we develop a numerical ...

Earthquake-induced hazards in mountain regions: a review of case histories from Central Asia -- an inaugural lecture to the society [PDF]
Geologica Belgica, 2010This paper presents a summary of the main trigger factors of earthquake-induced landslides as well as a review of case histories of major landslide-triggering earthquake events in Central Asia. The Kainama earth-flow case history of 2005 is added to document possible mid-term effects of smaller earthquakes.

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Irrigation scheduling is crucial for ensuring precise water delivery to crops. However, in many sub‐Saharan African irrigation schemes, water is applied without considering crop water needs, resulting in low crop water productivity and low yields. Solar‐powered irrigation systems can automatically meet these needs by utilizing solar radiation,
