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.

Phylogeography of High Mountain Caddisflies (Trichoptera) in Asias Subtropical Mountains
, 2023 As one of the most prominent mountain systems on Earth, the Tibeto-Himalayan Region (THR), is not only famous for its geographic and climatic influence at a global scale but is also well-known for harboring high levels of biodiversity and it presently comprises two global biodiversity hotspots.

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.

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.
