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 ...

Contrasting glacier responses to recent climate change in high-mountain Asia. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2017
AbstractRecent studies of Asian glaciers have shown that glaciers in eastern Karakoram and West Kunlun have been slightly gaining mass while those in nearby Jammu Kashmir and Himalayas are losing mass, at rates of more than 0.5 m w.e.yr−1 and about 0.3 m w.e.yr−1, respectively. Two possible explanations have been proposed for this difference in glacier

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

A Review of Karakoram Glacier Anomalies in High Mountains Asia

Water, 2023
Influenced by global warming, glaciers in High Mountains Asia (HMA) generally show a trend of retreat and thinning, but in Karakoram, Pamir, and West Kunlun there is a trend of glacier stabilization or even a weak advance. In this study, using a bibliometric analysis, we systematically sorted the area, mass balance, and elevation changes of the ...

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 ...

Multi-decadal monsoon characteristics and glacier response in High Mountain Asia

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Glacier health across High Mountain Asia (HMA) is highly heterogeneous and strongly governed by regional climate, which is variably influenced by monsoon dynamics and the westerlies.

Climate regime of Asian glaciers revealed by GAMDAM glacier inventory [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2015
Among meteorological elements, precipitation has a large spatial variability and less observation, particularly in high-mountain Asia, although precipitation in mountains is an important parameter for hydrological circulation.

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
