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 ...

Modelling neutron star mountains in relativity [PDF]
Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 507, 116 (2021), 2021 Rapidly spinning, deformed neutron stars have long been considered potential gravitational-wave emitters. However, so far only upper limits on the size of the involved quadrupole deformations have been obtained. For this reason, it is pertinent to ask how large a mountain can be before the neutron star crust fractures.

Historical Climate Trends over High Mountain Asia Derived from ERA5 Reanalysis Data
Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2023 The climate of High Mountain Asia (HMA) has changed in recent decades. While the temperature is consistently increasing at a higher rate than the global warming rate, precipitation changes are inconsistent, with substantial temporal and spatial ...

Avalanche character and fatalities in the high mountains of Asia [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Abstract.With the exception of northern India, there are few, if any, consistent data records relating to avalanche activity in the high mountains of Asia. However, records do exist of avalanche fatalities in the region, contained in mountaineering expedition reports. In this paper, I review and analyze statistics of avalanche fatalities (both snow and
