Future growth and decline of high mountain Asia's ice-dammed lakes and associated risk
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 More than 10,000 locations in High-Mountain Asia are identified as likely to host ice-dammed lakes, responsible for most of the glacier outburst floods in High-Mountain Asia, using a combination of a digital elevation model and a glacier model.

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 ...

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.

Irrigation as a Potential Driver for Anomalous Glacier Behavior in High Mountain Asia. [PDF]
Geophys Res Lett, 2018 AbstractMany glaciers in the northwest of High Mountain Asia (HMA) show an almost zero or positive mass balance, despite the global trend of melting glaciers. This phenomenon is often referred to as the “Karakoram anomaly,” although strongest positive mass balances can be found in the Kunlun Shan mountain range, northeast of the Karakoram.

Does elevation dependent warming exist in high mountain Asia?
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 A majority of studies suggest that elevation dependent warming (EDW) has been verified in mountainous areas. However, there is some controversy about the EDW of high mountain Asia (HMA).

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

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
