Exceptional increases in fluvial sediment fluxes in a warmer and wetter High Mountain Asia

Science, 2021
Description Muddied waters The climate of High Mountain Asia is becoming warmer and wetter. Li et al. present data showing that rivers originating in this region have experienced large increases in runoff and sediment fluxes over the past six decades ...

Annual to seasonal glacier mass balance in High Mountain Asia derived from Pléiades stereo images: examples from the Pamir and the Tibetan Plateau

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 [PDF]

Contemporary 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.

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

Seasonal Cycles of High Mountain Asia Glacier Surface Elevation Detected by ICESat‐2

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2022
High Mountain Asia (HMA) glaciers are a key component of mountain hydrology and their seasonal ablation contributes significantly to the annual runoff of several large river systems that protect large populations from water stress.

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.

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.

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.
