The State of Remote Sensing Capabilities of Cascading Hazards over High Mountain Asia. [PDF]
Front Earth Sci (Lausanne), 2019 Cascading hazard processes refer to a primary trigger such as heavy rainfall, seismic activity, or snow melt, followed by a chain or web of consequences that can cause subsequent hazards influenced by a complex array of preconditions and vulnerabilities.

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 ...

Development of a multidecadal land reanalysis over High Mountain Asia [PDF]
Scientific DataAnthropogenic and climatic changes affect the water and energy cycles in High Mountain Asia (HMA), home to over two billion people and the largest reservoirs of freshwater outside the polar zone. Despite their significant importance for water management,

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

Supraglacial debris thickness and supply rate in High-Mountain Asia [PDF]
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 Supraglacial debris in High-Mountain Asia is extensively thin and its supply rate from local topography increases with the temperature and slope of debris-supply slopes, according to analyses of remote sensing data from over 4600 glaciers.

Contrasting glacier responses to recent climate change in high-mountain Asia. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Recent studies of Asian glaciers have shown that glaciers in eastern Karakoram and West Kunlun have been slightly gaining mass while those in nearby Jammu Kashmir and Himalayas are losing mass, at rates of more than 0.5 m w.e.yr−1 and about 0.3 m w.e.yr ...

Hydrology of debris-covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia [PDF]
Earth-Science Reviews, 2020 The hydrological characteristics of debris-covered glaciers are known to be fundamentally different from those of clean-ice glaciers, even within the same climatological, geological, and geomorphological setting. Understanding how these characteristics influence the timing and magnitude of meltwater discharge is particularly important for regions where

A comprehensive and version-controlled database of glacial lake outburst floods in High Mountain Asia [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2023 . Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) have been intensely investigated in High Mountain Asia (HMA) in recent years and are the most well-known hazard associated with the cryosphere. As glaciers recede and surrounding slopes become increasingly unstable,

Future growth and decline of high mountain Asia's ice-dammed lakes and associated risk
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 More than 10,000 locations in High-Mountain Asia are identified as likely to host ice-dammed lakes, responsible for most of the glacier outburst floods in High-Mountain Asia, using a combination of a digital elevation model and a glacier model.
