Imminent Threat of Rock-Ice Avalanches in High Mountain Asia

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021
Upsurge of glacier-related hazards in High Mountain Asia (HMA) has been evident in recent years due to global warming. While many glacial-related hazards are instantaneous, some large landslides were preceded by slow gravitational deformation, which can be predicted to evade catastrophes.

High-mountain vegetation of North Asia: Dryad tundras [PDF]

open access: possibleContemporary Problems of Ecology, 2015
The main distribution patterns of dryad tundras in high-mountain regions, where they form a large cryophilic florocenotic system, have been studied. The cenoflora of dryad tundras comprises 286 species of vascular plants, among which there are several marker groups that indicate dryad tundras in general and their regional features in particular.

Glacier volume and area change by 2050 in high mountain Asia

Global and Planetary Change, 2014
Abstract We estimate individual area and volume change by 2050 of all 67,028 glaciers, with a total area of 122,969 km2, delineated in the Randolph Glacier Inventory 2.0 of high mountain Asia (HMA). We used the 25 km resolution regional climate model RegCM 3.0 temperature and precipitation change projections forced by the IPCC A1B scenario.

Climate change in the High Mountain Asia simulated with CMIP6 models

2021
<p>The High Mountains of Asia (HMA) region and the Tibetan Plateau (TP), with an average altitude of 4000 m, are hosting the third largest reservoir of glaciers and snow after the two polar ice caps, and are at the origin of strong orographic precipitation. Climate studies over HMA are related to serious challenges concerning the exposure

Precipitation regime changes in High Mountain Asia driven by cleaner air

Nature, 2023
High Mountain Asia (HMA) has experienced a spatial imbalance in water resources in recent decades, partly because of a dipolar pattern of precipitation changes known as South Drying-North Wetting1. These changes can be influenced by both human activities and internal climate variability2,3.

The Validation of Snow Cover Product Over High Mountain Asia

IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
Many algorithms and products for snow cover have been developed. Then a unified set of “ground truth” data is important to validate snow cover products. In this study, Landsat-8/OLI data processed by linear unmixing algorithm was determined as “ground truth” to validate the moderate resolution snow products.

Glacial and Tectonic Mass Transportation in High Mountain Asia

2019
Nearly each part of the HMA glaciers develops in its own individual features. For instance, glaciers on the TP are generally of three different types and are controlled by diverse factors.
