Surging Glaciers in High Mountain Asia between 1986 and 2021
Remote Sensing, 2023 High Mountain Asia (HMA) is one of the concentrated areas of surging glaciers in the world. The dynamic movement of surging glaciers not only reshapes the periglacial landscape but also has the potential to directly or indirectly trigger catastrophic ...

Diverging Trends in Rain‐On‐Snow Over High Mountain Asia
Earth's Future, 2023 Rain‐on‐snow (ROS) over snow‐dominated regions such as High Mountain Asia (HMA) modulates snowmelt and runoff and is key contributor in influencing water availability and hazards (e.g., floods and landslides). We studied the trends in ROS in HMA over the
