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

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

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 ...

Warming triggers snowfall fraction loss Thresholds in High-Mountain Asia
npj Climate and Atmospheric ScienceGlobal warming is accelerating climate disasters by triggering tipping points in various Earth systems. Although changes in precipitation patterns in High-Mountain Asia (HMA) have been extensively studied, the specific thresholds that trigger rapid ...

Supraglacial debris thickness and supply rate in High-Mountain Asia [PDF]
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.

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).

Remote Sensing and Modeling of the Cryosphere in High Mountain Asia: A Multidisciplinary Review
Remote SensingOver the past decades, the cryosphere has changed significantly in High Mountain Asia (HMA), leading to multiple natural hazards such as rock–ice avalanches, glacier collapse, debris flows, landslides, and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). Monitoring

Accelerated warming of High Mountain Asia predicted at multiple years ahead.
Science BulletinHigh-Mountain Asia (HMA) is an important source of freshwater since it holds the largest reservoir of frozen water outside the polar regions. HMA feeds ten great rivers, ultimately supporting more than 2 billion people. However, the threat of accelerated
