Evolution and Controls of Large Glacial Lakes in the Nepal Himalaya

Remote Sensing, 2018
Glacier recession driven by climate change produces glacial lakes, some of which are hazardous. Our study assesses the evolution of three of the most hazardous moraine-dammed proglacial lakes in the Nepal Himalaya—Imja, Lower Barun, and Thulagi.

Disentangling source of moisture driving glacier dynamics and identification of 8.2 ka event: evidence from pore water isotopes, Western Himalaya

Scientific Reports, 2020
Two atmospheric circulation patterns, the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) and mid-latitude Westerlies control precipitation and thus glacier variability in the Himalaya. However, the role of the ISM and westerlies in controlling climate and thus past glacier

Divergent Effects of Climate Change on the Potential Habitats of Two Medicinally Important <i>Aconitum</i> Species in the Hindu Kush Himalaya. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Mountain endemic plants are likely to be affected significantly by climate change. Using species distribution models, we predicted suitable habitat areas of medicinally important and allopatric Aconitum spicatum and A. naviculare encompassing their entire distribution in the Hindu‐Kush Himalaya and showed that the suitable area will decline without ...
