Warming, increase in precipitation, and irrigation enhance greening in High Mountain Asia
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 Greening in high mountain Asia between 2003 and 2020 was driven by warming at high elevations, increased precipitation in forested regions and enhanced irrigation in croplands, according to a multivariate analysis of remote sensing data.

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.

Surface Warming Constraint Projects Less Permafrost Thawing in High Mountain Asia
Geophysical Research LettersReliable projections of permafrost change are crucial for estimating permafrost carbon loss. However, potential model biases in surface air temperature may yield unrealistic projections of future permafrost area.
