A glacier inventory for the western Nyainqentanglha Range and the Nam Co Basin, Tibet, and glacier changes 1976–2009 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2010 The western Nyainqentanglha Range is located in the south-eastern centre of the Tibetan Plateau. Its north-western slopes drain into Lake Nam Co. The region is of special interest for glacio-climatological research as it is influenced by both the ...

Glacier Change, Concentration, and Elevation Effects in the Karakoram Himalaya, Upper Indus Basin [PDF]
, 2011 In recent decades the consequences of climate change for Himalayan glaciers has become of great concern. Glaciers in much of High Asia appear to be declining, some at globally extreme rates (Ageta 2001;Oerlemanns 2001).

Modelling of hydrological response to climate change in glacierized Central Asian catchments [PDF]
, 2007 The arid lowlands of Central Asia are highly dependent on the water supplied by the Tien Shan mountains. Snow and ice storage make large contributions to current runoff, particularly in summer.

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, 2020 Microplastic contamination has become ubiquitous in terrestrial and marine environments. Recent studies have shown that the wind can transport and deposit microplastics in high mountain ecosystems, but microplastic contamination therein is unknown ...

Committed retreat: controls on glacier disequilibrium in a warming climate
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 The widespread retreat of mountain glaciers is a striking emblem of recent climate change. Yet mass-balance observations indicate that many glaciers are out of equilibrium with current climate, meaning that observed retreats do not show the full response

Thinning of the Monte Perdido Glacier in the Spanish Pyrenees since 1981 [PDF]
, 2016 Producción CientíficaThis paper analyzes the evolution of the Monte Perdido Glacier, the third largest glacier in the Pyrenees, from 1981 to the present. We assessed the evolution of the glacier's surface area by analysis of aerial photographs from 1981,

Ecological Stoichiometry of the Mountain Cryosphere
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Roughly 10% of the Earth's surface is permanently covered by glaciers and ice sheets and in mountain ecosystems, this proportion of ice cover is often even higher.
