Climate regime of Asian glaciers revealed by GAMDAM glacier inventory [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Among meteorological elements, precipitation has a large spatial variability and less observation, particularly in high-mountain Asia, although precipitation in mountains is an important parameter for hydrological circulation.

Tibet, the Himalaya, Asian monsoons and biodiversity - In what ways are they related? [PDF]
, 2017 Prevailing dogma asserts that the uplift of Tibet, the onset of the Asian monsoon system and high biodiversity in southern Asia are linked, and that all occurred after 23 million years ago in the Neogene. Here, spanning the last 60 million years of Earth

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 ...

Modelling of hydrological response to climate change in glacierized Central Asian catchments [PDF]
, 2007 The arid lowlands of Central Asia are highly dependent on the water supplied by the Tien Shan mountains. Snow and ice storage make large contributions to current runoff, particularly in summer.

On the Relevance of Aerosols to Snow Cover Variability Over High Mountain Asia
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 AbstractWhile meteorology and aerosols are identified as key drivers of snow cover (SC) variability in High Mountain Asia, complex non‐linear interactions between them are not adequately quantified. Here, we attempt to unravel these interactions through a simple relative importance (RI) analysis of meteorological and aerosol variables from ERA5/CAMS ...
