Diverging Trends in Rain‐On‐Snow Over High Mountain Asia
Earth's Future, 2023 Rain‐on‐snow (ROS) over snow‐dominated regions such as High Mountain Asia (HMA) modulates snowmelt and runoff and is key contributor in influencing water availability and hazards (e.g., floods and landslides). We studied the trends in ROS in HMA over the

Multi-decadal monsoon characteristics and glacier response in High Mountain Asia
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Glacier health across High Mountain Asia (HMA) is highly heterogeneous and strongly governed by regional climate, which is variably influenced by monsoon dynamics and the westerlies.

Climate regime of Asian glaciers revealed by GAMDAM glacier inventory [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Among meteorological elements, precipitation has a large spatial variability and less observation, particularly in high-mountain Asia, although precipitation in mountains is an important parameter for hydrological circulation.

Remote Detection of Surge-Related Glacier Terminus Change across High Mountain Asia
Remote Sensing, 2021 High Mountain Asia (HMA) hosts the largest glacier concentration outside of polar regions. It is also distinct glaciologically as it forms one of two major surge clusters globally, and many glaciers there contradict the globally observed glacier ...

Spatial differences of ice volume across High Mountain Asia
Advances in Climate Change Research, 2023 Advanced knowledge of glacier ice volume is vital for water resource assessment. Previous studies have focused on the estimation of ice volume, but the quantitative understanding of the spatial variability of ice volume across High Mountain regions is ...

Supraglacial debris thickness and supply rate in High-Mountain Asia
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 Supraglacial debris in High-Mountain Asia is extensively thin and its supply rate from local topography increases with the temperature and slope of debris-supply slopes, according to analyses of remote sensing data from over 4600 glaciers.

INVERSING GLACIER ALBEDO IN HIGH MOUNTAIN ASIA BASED ON SENTINEL-3 SATELLITE DATA [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2021 Surface albedo, defined as the ratio of the upward to downward solar irradiance, is an important climate parameter in the surface energy budget. Among them, glacier albedo is the link between glaciers and the hydration process of climate and cold zones ...

Ice Cliff Dynamics of Debris-Covered Trakarding Glacier in the Rolwaling Region, Nepal Himalaya
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Ice cliffs can act as “hot spots” for melt on debris-covered glaciers and promote local glacier mass loss. Repeat high-resolution remote-sensing data are therefore required to monitor the role of ice cliff dynamics in glacier mass loss.
