Imminent Threat of Rock-Ice Avalanches in High Mountain Asia
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021Upsurge 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.

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;.

Precipitation regime changes in High Mountain Asia driven by cleaner air
Nature, 2023High 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.

Modern landscape change in High Mountain Asia (1950-present)
2022<p>High Mountain Asia (HMA) &#8211; the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding high Asian mountains &#8211; is now experiencing amplified climate change, glacier melt, and permafrost thaw. The rapid climate change and melting and thawing of the cryosphere are not only affecting the water cycle but also causing landscape ...

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.

WRF-based dynamical downscaling over High Mountain Asia
2022Hochasien (engl. High Mountain Asia, HMA) ist eine gebirgige Region, die das Tibetische Plateau (TP) und die umliegenden Gebirgsketten umfasst. Aufgrund der einzigartigen klimatischen und tektonischen Gegebenheiten ist die HMA-Region sehr anfällig für Naturgefahren wie Erdrutsche und Gletscherseeausbrüche (engl. Glacier Lake Outburst Floods, GLOFs). Im

Dynamic glaciers improve LGM simulation in High Mountain Asia
2022<p>Glaciers on Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding areas were much more extensive during Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) when global mean temperature was 5-8 K lower than today. Accurately reconstructing glaciers on and around Tibetan Plateau remains vital towards understanding glaciers&#8217; sensitivity against climate change, and ...

Anticipating future ice-dammed lakes across High Mountain Asia
2022<p>Over recent decades, a significant increase in the amount and the size of glacier lakes has been observed. These lakes enhance glacier mass loss but also present societal hazard as they may retain large volumes of water. When large lakes drain, the downstream valleys can severely be impacted by the resulting glacial lake outburst ...

Dust dominates high-altitude snow darkening and melt over high-mountain Asia
Nature Climate Change, 2020Westerly driven, long-range transportation of dust particles in elevated aerosol layers (EALs) is a persistent phenomenon during spring and summer over the Indian subcontinent. During the snow accumulation season, EALs transport substantial amounts of dust to the snow-covered slopes of high-mountain Asia (HMA).
