A spatially resolved estimate of High Mountain Asia glacier mass balances, 2000-2016. [PDF]
Nat Geosci, 2017 High Mountain Asia hosts the largest glacier concentration outside the polar regions. These glaciers are important contributors to streamflow in one of the most populated areas of the world. Past studies have used methods that can only provide regionally-

A Systematic, Regional Assessment of High Mountain Asia Glacier Mass Balance
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 High-mountain Asia (HMA) constitutes the largest glacierized region outside of the Earth's polar regions. Although available observations are limited, long-term records indicate sustained HMA glacier mass loss since ~1850, with accelerated loss in recent
