Annual 30 m dataset for glacial lakes in High Mountain Asia from 2008 to 2017

, 2021
. Climate change is intensifying glacier melting and lake development in High Mountain Asia (HMA), which could increase glacial lake outburst flood hazards and impact water resource and hydroelectric power management.

Hydrology of debris-covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia [PDF]

Earth-Science Reviews, 2020
The hydrological characteristics of debris-covered glaciers are known to be fundamentally different from those of clean-ice glaciers, even within the same climatological, geological, and geomorphological setting. Understanding how these characteristics influence the timing and magnitude of meltwater discharge is particularly important for regions where

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.

Glacial lake inventory of high-mountain Asia in 1990 and 2018 derived from Landsat images

, 2020
There is currently no glacial lake inventory data set for the entire high-mountain Asia (HMA) area. The definition and classification of glacial lakes remain controversial, presenting certain obstacles to extensive utilization of glacial lake inventory ...

Influence of Topographic Shading on the Mass Balance of the High Mountain Asia Glaciers

Remote Sensing, 2022
Most studies attribute the glacier mass balance within High Mountain Asia (HMA) to climate change, ignoring the influence of its complex terrain. Knowledge of the influence of this complex terrain is crucial for understanding the spatial variability in ...

Numerical simulations of the impacts of mountain on oasis effects in arid Central Asia [PDF]

, 2017
The oases in the mountain-basin systems of Central Asia are extremely fragile. Investigating oasis effects and oasis-desert interactions is important for understanding the ecological stability of oases.

Remote sensing of the cryosphere in high mountain ASIA [PDF]

2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017
High Mountain Asia (HMA), often referred to as the “third pole” of the world because its high elevation glaciers, contains the largest amount of fresh water outside the polar ice sheets. The region's hydrology is strongly controlled by variations in the timing and distribution of runoff from snow and glacier melt.

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

On the origin of the North Pacific arcs [PDF]

, 2004
We present a new hypothesis that relates global plate tectonics to the formation of marginal basins, island arcs, spreading ridges and arc-shaped mountain belts around the North Pacific Ocean.
