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 ...

Projected 21st-Century Glacial Lake Evolution in High Mountain Asia

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
In High Mountain Asia (HMA), rising temperatures and retreating glaciers are leading to the formation of new glacial lakes and the expansion of existing ones.

A molecular phylogeny of Southeast Asian Cyrtandra (Gesneriaceae) supports an emerging paradigm for Malesian plant biogeography [PDF]

, 2020
The islands of Southeast Asia comprise one of the most geologically and biogeographically complex areas in the world and are a centre of exceptional floristic diversity, harbouring 45,000 species of flowering plants.

Conceptualising quality early childhood education: Learning from young children in Brazil and South Africa through creative and play‐based methods

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Early childhood has increasingly been acknowledged as a vital time for all children. Inclusive and quality education is part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with the further specification that all children have access to quality pre‐primary education.

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.

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.

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

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.
