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 ...

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

Supraglacial debris thickness and supply rate in High-Mountain Asia

Communications Earth & Environment, 2022
Supraglacial debris in High-Mountain Asia is extensively thin and its supply rate from local topography increases with the temperature and slope of debris-supply slopes, according to analyses of remote sensing data from over 4600 glaciers.
