Solar Geoengineering Effects on Malaria Transmission Risk in South Asia Under G6sulfur Scenario
Comparison of EIR (unit: No of infected bites per person per day) for each considered country in South Asia, under the considered scenarios, averaged over the period 2020–2090. A regression equation is shown for each country (for Bhutan EIRG = 0.1690 × 10−10 EIRS + 0.5968 × 10−12) to illustrate the projected trend.

Pakistan's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) is assessed against lessons derived from the 2010 and 2022 Indus Basin floods through a systematic review of 35 studies. While the NAP scores above the global average on established quality criteria, it remains infrastructure‐centric, with limited integration of nature‐based solutions, local knowledge, and ...

Abstract Background The lack of dependable, high‐quality forage and animal feedstuffs in many areas of the world hampers livestock production. In these regions, farmers often rely on native fodder tree and shrub leaves as a forage source for their animals with little or no information available on nutritional factors of these feedstuffs.

ABSTRACT Global warming has intensified the atmospheric water cycle, leading to more frequent and severe extreme precipitation events, which are a major driver of rainstorm‐induced flooding. Developing regions such as the China–Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC), spanning highly heterogeneous terrain and climate zones, face elevated risk due to limited ...

The Interpretation of Karakoram Anomaly by High Karakoram Ice Core Record
AbstractGlacier mass in the Karakoram region has increased since the mid‐1990s in contrast to Himalayan glaciers. The scarcity and brevity of observations, including in situ observations and weather station data, limit our understanding of the Karakoram anomaly.

Estimating water resources is important for regional climate impact analysis and risk estimation. The Middle East and Central Asia have largely reached the limit of sustainably usable water across their river basins and ecosystems. Strategies designed to mitigate environmental risks require a reliable estimation of water availability trends.

The Karakoram Anomaly? Glacier Expansion and the ‘Elevation Effect,’ Karakoram Himalaya
Abstract In the late 1990s widespread evidence of glacier expansion was found in the central Karakoram, in contrast to a worldwide decline of mountain glaciers. The expansions were almost exclusively in glacier basins from the highest parts of the range and developed quickly after decades of decline.

Weakening of Western Disturbances in Response to Polar Sea Ice Melt in Climate Model Simulations
We investigate how polar sea ice loss influences western disturbances over South Asia using climate model experiments. The simulations reveal a robust weakening of western disturbance activity in response to Polar Sea ice melt. These results highlight a critical teleconnection pathway through which high‐latitude cryospheric changes may impact South ...
