Delineation of 3D crustal seismic structures beneath western Tibet and the Himalayan range using local earthquake tomography

Seismica
This study aims to image the crustal structure of the western Tibetan Plateau by analyzing the velocity structure of elastic waves, using manually picked P- and S-wave arrival times from waveform data recorded by temporarily installed seismic stations ...

Multi‐Stage Crustal Thickening, Surface Uplift, and Collision in the Western Himalaya‐Karakoram‐Tibet Orogen Revealed by Chemical Mohometry

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The Himalaya‐Karakoram‐Tibet (HKT) orogen provides an unrivaled opportunity to study the dynamic linkages between deep and surface processes during collisional orogenesis. However, these efforts are hindered by conflicting interpretations on the number and timing of collisional events, and the timing of crustal thickening and associated ...

Subseasonal Temperature Variability Drives Nonlinear Snow Loss With Warming

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Documenting and predicting the loss of seasonal snow is vital but complex owing to regional heterogeneity in the response of snow to warming. Such heterogeneity arises because the marginal loss of snow per degree of warming depends strongly on mean winter temperatures: Regions warmer than −8°C experience steep, accelerating snow declines ...

Modeling the Impact of Mining Activities on the Dynamics and Evolution of a Kyrgyz Glacier

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Glaciers worldwide are retreating because of climate change. However, local human activities also influence their dynamics. Here, we model the impact of gold mining operations on Davydov Glacier in the Inner Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan, from the Little Ice Age through 2100 under different Shared Socioeconomic Pathway climate scenarios using a 3D ...

Thermochronology of the modern Indus River bedload: New insight into the controls on the marine stratigraphic record [PDF]

, 2004
The Indus River is the only major drainage in the western Himalaya and delivers a long geological record of continental erosion to the Arabian Sea, which may be deciphered and used to reconstruct orogenic growth if the modern bedload can be related to ...

Retrieval of Snow Grain Size over the Tibetan Plateau: Preliminary Cross-Validation Between Optical and Satellite Altimetry Data

Remote Sensing
Snow grain size is important in albedo calculation, mass balance, and climate research. Critically, in situ measurements of snow grain size on the Tibetan Plateau remain scarce.

Impact of the Western Tibetan Vortex on Springtime Snow Cover Over the Western Tibetan Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 14, 28 July 2025.
Abstract Snow cover changes are of great importance to the hydrological cycle of the western Tibetan Plateau (TP). However, the influence of the atmospheric circulation on snow cover over the western TP is still unclear. This study finds that springtime snow cover variability over the western TP tail is significantly modulated by the Western Tibetan ...

GRAVITY ANOMALIES OF THE CRUST AND UPPER MANTLE FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTH ASIA

Геодинамика и тектонофизика, 2016
Studying the density of both the crust and mantle is one of the topical problems in modern geophysics. Gravity modeling in combination with seismic tomography is an important tool for detecting density inhomogeneities in the crust and mantle, which can ...
