Future growth and decline of high mountain Asia's ice-dammed lakes and associated risk
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 More than 10,000 locations in High-Mountain Asia are identified as likely to host ice-dammed lakes, responsible for most of the glacier outburst floods in High-Mountain Asia, using a combination of a digital elevation model and a glacier model.

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.

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

Increase in occurrence of large glacier-related landslides in the high mountains of Asia [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractGlobally, a large number of glaciers are retreating due to global warming. Along with climate change, glacial melting has been identified as one of the main triggers of landslide activity in high mountain areas. Evaluations of the triggered mechanism alone do not provide comprehensive insight into the overall impact of glacier accumulation and ...

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 ...

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.
