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 ...

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

Influence of Topographic Shading on the Mass Balance of the High Mountain Asia Glaciers

Remote Sensing, 2022
Most studies attribute the glacier mass balance within High Mountain Asia (HMA) to climate change, ignoring the influence of its complex terrain. Knowledge of the influence of this complex terrain is crucial for understanding the spatial variability in ...

Winter and spring atmospheric rivers in High Mountain Asia: climatology, dynamics, and variability. [PDF]

Clim Dyn, 2022
Abstract Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) that reach the complex terrain of High Mountain Asia (HMA) cause significant hydrological impacts for millions of people. While ARs are often associated with precipitation extremes and can cause floods and debris flows affecting populated communities, little is known about ARs that reach as far inland as HMA ...

Connecting Global Modes of Variability to Climate in High Mountain Asia

Atmosphere, 2023
Oscillations in global modes of variability (MoVs) form global teleconnections that affect regional climate variability and modify the potential for severe and damaging weather conditions.

Remote sensing of the cryosphere in high mountain ASIA [PDF]

2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017
High Mountain Asia (HMA), often referred to as the “third pole” of the world because its high elevation glaciers, contains the largest amount of fresh water outside the polar ice sheets. The region's hydrology is strongly controlled by variations in the timing and distribution of runoff from snow and glacier melt.
