Phylogeography and Population Demography of Parrotia subaequalis, a Hamamelidaceous Tertiary Relict ‘Living Fossil’ Tree Endemic to East Asia Refugia: Implications from Molecular Data and Ecological Niche Modeling [PDF]
PlantsThe diverse topography and mild monsoon climate in East Asia are considered to be important drivers for the long-term ecological success of the Tertiary relict ‘living fossil’ plants during the glacial/interglacial cycles.

Connecting Global Modes of Variability to Climate in High Mountain Asia
Atmosphere, 2023 Oscillations in global modes of variability (MoVs) form global teleconnections that affect regional climate variability and modify the potential for severe and damaging weather conditions.

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 glacier melt, which is a consequence of unprecedented global warming since the early 1950s ...

Refined identification and expansion mechanisms of glacier-fed lakes in high mountain Asia
International Journal of Digital EarthGlacier-fed lakes are expanding, but research on the driving factors of their expansion is insufficient. The primary reason for this gap lies in the current definition of glacial lakes, which includes all lakes within 10 km of glaciers, regardless of ...

Unraveling the complexities of rain-on-snow events in High Mountain Asia
npj Climate and Atmospheric ScienceRain-on-snow (ROS) events, defined as rainfall on a snow-covered landscape, pose a significant flood risk. While climate change is altering precipitation patterns and snow cover in High Mountain Asia (HMA), our understanding of ROS patterns and their ...

Climate change in the High Mountain Asia simulated with CMIP6 models
, 2021 <p>The High Mountains of Asia (HMA) region and the Tibetan Plateau (TP), with an average altitude of 4000 m, are hosting the third largest reservoir of glaciers and snow after the two polar ice caps, and are at the origin of strong orographic precipitation. Climate studies over HMA are related to serious challenges concerning the exposure

Towards understanding the pattern of glacier mass balances in High Mountain Asia using regional climatic modelling [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA) provide an important water resource for communities downstream, and they are markedly impacted by global warming, yet there is a lack of understanding of the observed glacier mass balances and their spatial ...
