Disentangling the debris-cover anomaly in High Mountain Asia
2022<p>Rocky debris covers 30% of glacier ablation areas in High Mountain Asia and generally suppresses melt. However, remote sensing observations have shown no statistical difference in glacier thinning rates between areas with and without debris cover; the &#8216;debris cover anomaly&#8217;.

The Cryosphere, 2023
. Glaciers are crucial sources of freshwater in particular for the arid lowlands surrounding High Mountain Asia. To better constrain glacio-hydrological models, annual, or even better, seasonal information about glacier mass changes is highly beneficial.

High Mountain Vegetation of North Asia: Dryad Tundras
Сибирский экологический журнал, 2015The 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.

Rising Lake Levels Across High Mountain Asia
High-altitude lakes across High Mountain Asia (HMA) are one of the critical freshwater reservoirs and sensitive indicators of climate change due to their remote locations and limited human disturbances. However, the ongoing climate change and enhanced glacier melt represent a substantial risk of outburst floods.Javed Hassan +5 more

Glacial and Tectonic Mass Transportation in High Mountain Asia
2019Nearly 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.

The effect of irrigation on glacier evolution in High-Mountain Asia
Over the past century, global irrigation extent has expanded nearly fivefold, increasing from approximately 63Mha in the early 1900s to over 306Mha today. This growth has been particularly pronounced in Asia, which accounts for roughly 85% of current global irrigation withdrawals.Magali Ponds +4 more

Remote Detection of Surging Glaciers Across High Mountain Asia
2020High Mountain Asia (HMA) hosts the largest glacier concentration outside of polar regions. This region also represents the second major surge cluster, globally. Despite numerous sub-regional and individual glacier – scale studies of surging, our understanding of this phenomenon remains largely ambiguous.

Distribution and characteristics of surge-type glaciers in High Mountain Asia
Here, the data used in paper “Distribution and characteristics of surge-type glaciers in High Mountain Asia” were given. In this database, the vectors of surge-type glaciers and possible surge-type glaciers in High Mountain Asia were given, and the information such as the position and surge evidence of glaciers are given in the vector data attribute ...Cao, Bo +5 more
