The spatial variation of Asian dust and marine aerosol contributions to glaciochemical signals in central Asia [PDF]
, 1992 Short-term (6 months to 17 years) glaciochemical records have been collected from several glacier basins in the mountains of central Asia. The spatial distribution of snow chemistry in central Asia is controlled by the influx of dust from the large ...

Deriving Bias and Uncertainty in MERRA-2 Snowfall Precipitation Over High Mountain Asia
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 A Bayesian approach to estimate bias and uncertainty in snowfall precipitation from MERRA-2 and other precipitation products was applied over High Mountain Asia (HMA), using a newly developed snow reanalysis method.

Tectonic evolution of a continental collision zone: A thermomechanical numerical model [PDF]
, 2004 We model evolution of a continent-continent collision and draw some parallels with the tectonic evolution of the Himalaya. We use a large-scale visco-plasto-elastic thermomechanical model that has a free upper surface, accounts for erosion and deposition
