A Systematic, Regional Assessment of High Mountain Asia Glacier Mass Balance
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 High-mountain Asia (HMA) constitutes the largest glacierized region outside of the Earth's polar regions. Although available observations are limited, long-term records indicate sustained HMA glacier mass loss since ~1850, with accelerated loss in recent

Evolving Spatially Aggregated Features from Satellite Imagery for Regional Modeling [PDF]
Parallel Problem Solving from Nature - PPSN XIV. PPSN 2016.
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 9921. Springer, Cham, 2017 Satellite imagery and remote sensing provide explanatory variables at relatively high resolutions for modeling geospatial phenomena, yet regional summaries are often desirable for analysis and actionable insight. In this paper, we propose a novel method of inducing spatial aggregations as a component of the machine learning process, yielding regional ...

Changes in seasonal snow water equivalent distribution in High Mountain Asia (1987 to 2009). [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2018 Changes (1987 to 2009) in snow-water storage in High Mountain Asia are highly spatially and seasonally heterogeneous. Snow meltwaters account for most of the yearly water budgets of many catchments in High Mountain Asia (HMA).
