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.

Phylogeography of High Mountain Caddisflies (Trichoptera) in Asias Subtropical Mountains

2023
As one of the most prominent mountain systems on Earth, the Tibeto-Himalayan Region (THR), is not only famous for its geographic and climatic influence at a global scale but is also well-known for harboring high levels of biodiversity and it presently comprises two global biodiversity hotspots.

Hydrology of debris-covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia [PDF]

open access: yesEarth-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

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.

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 ‘debris cover anomaly’.

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.
