Intensification of Northern Hemisphere Glaciation Triggered the Red Clay to Loess‐Paleosol Shift on the Chinese Loess Plateau 2.7 Million Years Ago

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Widespread aeolian loess‐paleosol and red clay sediments on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) provide a globally unique terrestrial archive of Neogene–Quaternary climate. However, the timing and associated mechanisms of red clay to loess‐paleosol shift remain debated.

A New Surface Rupture of the 1556 Huaxian M ∼ 8.5 Earthquake Revealed by Rock Surface Luminescence Dating of a Bedrock Fault Scarp and Colluvial Wedges

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Bedrock fault scarps and their associated colluvial wedges provide key evidence for reconstructing paleoearthquakes. We apply rock surface luminescence dating to a bedrock scarp on the Huashan fault in central China, using OSL‐depth profiles (DPs) from multiple heights. Results reveal two coseismic displacements of 6.8 and >1.0 m.

Mapping mountain glaciers using an improved U-Net model with cSE

International Journal of Digital Earth, 2022
Global warming is melting glaciers. Changes in mountain glaciers have a tremendous impact on human life. Regular identification and extraction of glaciers from satellite images are necessary.

The First Release of the CSTAR Point Source Catalog from Dome A, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2010
In 2008 January the 24th Chinese expedition team successfully deployed the Chinese Small Telescope ARray (CSTAR) to DomeA, the highest point on the Antarctic plateau. CSTAR consists of four 14.5cm optical telescopes, each with a different filter (g, r, i

From shadows to data: first robust population assessment of snow leopards in Pakistan

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.
The snow leopard Panthera uncia is a flagship species of the greater Himalayan region and symbolizes the integrity of this ecological system. Within the greater Himalayas, Pakistan holds special significance as the north of the country represents a confluence of three major mountain ranges (Hindu Kush, Pamir–Karakoram, and Himalaya).

Reconstruction of the mass balance of Muztag Ata No. 15 glacier, eastern Pamir, and its climatic drivers

Journal of Glaciology, 2018
The mass-balance of Muztag Ata No. 15 (MZ15) glacier in the eastern Pamir is reconstructed between 1980 and 2012 using an energy-based mass-balance model.

Long‐Term Snow Avalanche Trends in High Mountain Asia: Climatic Drivers and Impacts

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Devastating snow avalanches are frequent in High Mountain Asia (HMA) yet remain undocumented with climate change impact drivers poorly understood. Here we introduce the first record of 60 million avalanche deposits across 10,701 small catchments, compiled from 33 years of Landsat data from 1990 until 2022 using a snow index.

Determination of earthquake focal depths and source time functions in central Asia using teleseismic P waveforms [PDF]

, 2009
We developed a new method to determine earthquake source time functions and focal depths. It uses theoretical Green's function and a time-domain deconvolution with positivity constraint to estimate the source time function from the teleseismic P ...

Differential Mountain‐Building in the South Tian Shan Revealed by Multi‐Spatiotemporal Foreland Deformation

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding how spatially variable mountain‐building processes proceed within large intracontinental orogens provides critical insights into continental tectonics and regional paleoenvironmental evolution. Here, we address this issue in the central South Tian Shan (cSTS), a key transitional segment between the well‐studied eastern and ...
