Contrasting glacier responses to recent climate change in high-mountain Asia. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2017
AbstractRecent studies of Asian glaciers have shown that glaciers in eastern Karakoram and West Kunlun have been slightly gaining mass while those in nearby Jammu Kashmir and Himalayas are losing mass, at rates of more than 0.5 m w.e.yr−1 and about 0.3 m w.e.yr−1, respectively. Two possible explanations have been proposed for this difference in glacier

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

Earth-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

Ancient Migratory Events in the Middle East: New Clues from the Y-Chromosome Variation of Modern Iranians [PDF]

, 2012
Knowledge of high resolution Y-chromosome haplogroup diversification within Iran provides important geographic context regarding the spread and compartmentalization of male lineages in the Middle East and southwestern Asia.

Nomadic ecology shaped the highland geography of Asia's Silk Roads [PDF]

, 2017
There are many unanswered questions about the evolution of the ancient 'Silk Roads' across Asia. This is especially the case in their mountainous stretches, where harsh terrain is seen as an impediment to travel.

Influence of Topographic Shading on the Mass Balance of the High Mountain Asia Glaciers

Remote Sensing, 2022
Most studies attribute the glacier mass balance within High Mountain Asia (HMA) to climate change, ignoring the influence of its complex terrain. Knowledge of the influence of this complex terrain is crucial for understanding the spatial variability in ...

Numerical simulations of the impacts of mountain on oasis effects in arid Central Asia [PDF]

, 2017
The oases in the mountain-basin systems of Central Asia are extremely fragile. Investigating oasis effects and oasis-desert interactions is important for understanding the ecological stability of oases.

Remote sensing of the cryosphere in high mountain ASIA [PDF]

2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017
High Mountain Asia (HMA), often referred to as the “third pole” of the world because its high elevation glaciers, contains the largest amount of fresh water outside the polar ice sheets. The region's hydrology is strongly controlled by variations in the timing and distribution of runoff from snow and glacier melt.

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.
