Synchronous terminus change of East Antarctic outlet glaciers linked to climatic forcing [PDF]
, 2013 In recent years there has been a growing trend of acceleration, thinning and retreat of ocean-terminating outlet glaciers in both the Greenland and West Antarctic Ice Sheets, resulting in an increasing contribution to sea level rise.

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop

Geophysical Research LettersThe processes of ice incorporation into rock glaciers have been difficult to quantify in both permafrost and non‐permafrost conditions. Here, we develop a numerical model that regardless of the presence of permafrost, reveals how debris eroded from ...

Bedload hysteresis in a glacier‐fed mountain river [PDF]
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2014 ABSTRACTSediment transport during flood events often reveals hysteretic patterns because flow discharge can peak before (counterclockwise hysteresis) or after (clockwise hysteresis) the peak of bedload. Hysteresis in sediment transport has been used in the literature to infer the degree of sediment availability.

Mesozoic–Cenozoic Thermochronology of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan System, NW China
Geological Journal, EarlyView.Tectonothermal history of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan system compared with the major tectonic events at far‐field plate margins. ABSTRACT The Tarim Basin, an oil‐bearing basin in northwest China, is tectonically and sedimentologically linked to the Southern Tianshan Orogenic Belt.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Ongoing changes in mountain glaciers affect local water resources, hazard potential and global sea level. An increasing proportion of remaining mountain glaciers are affected by the presence of a surface cover of rock debris, and the response of these ...

Detection, Attribution and Projection of Precipitation Structure Changes Over Northwest China
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The precipitation structure shows a change trend of ‘the frequency of light precipitation decreased and the intensity of heavy precipitation increased’; attribution analysis shows that greenhouse gas forcing (GHG) is the main driving factor of precipitation structure change, and the model underestimates its impact, while aerosol forcing (AER) and ...

Changing Water Resources in the Indus Basin: A Multi‐Model Budyko‐Based Analysis
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Budyko‐based analysis evaluates historical (1962–2005) and future hydroclimatic change across the Indus River Basin. Budyko shifts indicate rising atmospheric evaporative demand and increasing energy limitation under future scenarios. ABSTRACT Assessing hydroclimatic variability and future water availability is crucial for sustainable water‐resource ...
