Accelerating River Discharge in High Mountain Asia

AGU Advances
High Mountain Asia (HMA) plays a crucial role in Asian hydrology—its vast snow and glacier‐covered landscape significantly influences downstream river water supply for billions of people. Understanding the spatiotemporal pattern of river discharge in HMA

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
