The GAMDAM glacier inventory: a quality-controlled inventory of Asian glaciers [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 We present a new glacier inventory for high-mountain Asia named "Glacier Area Mapping for Discharge from the Asian Mountains" (GAMDAM). Glacier outlines were delineated manually using 356 Landsat ETM+ scenes in 226 path-row sets from the period 1999–2003,

Ice Cliff Dynamics of Debris-Covered Trakarding Glacier in the Rolwaling Region, Nepal Himalaya
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Ice cliffs can act as “hot spots” for melt on debris-covered glaciers and promote local glacier mass loss. Repeat high-resolution remote-sensing data are therefore required to monitor the role of ice cliff dynamics in glacier mass loss.

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 ...

A Systematic, Regional Assessment of High Mountain Asia Glacier Mass Balance
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 High-mountain Asia (HMA) constitutes the largest glacierized region outside of the Earth's polar regions. Although available observations are limited, long-term records indicate sustained HMA glacier mass loss since ~1850, with accelerated loss in recent

Warming, increase in precipitation, and irrigation enhance greening in High Mountain Asia
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 Greening in high mountain Asia between 2003 and 2020 was driven by warming at high elevations, increased precipitation in forested regions and enhanced irrigation in croplands, according to a multivariate analysis of remote sensing data.

The Glacier Complexes of the Mountain Massifs of the North-West of Inner Asia and their Dynamics [PDF]
, 2011 The subject of this paper is the glaciation of the mountain massifs Mongun-Taiga, Tavan-Boghd-Ola, Turgeni- Nuru, and Harhira-Nuru. The glaciation is represented mostly by small forms that sometimes form a single complex of domeshaped peaks ...
