Identifying priority areas to guide management planning of a protected area network to support snow leopard (Panthera uncia) in Asia

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
We analysed a total of 512 protected areas (PAs) across 13 snow leopard range countries, utilizing graph theory coupled with resistant kernels, to rank and prioritize PAs for management decisions. We found that protection status often did not correspond with PA importance for connectivity, critical PAs tended to be clustered at international borders ...

Impacts of glacier retreat, greening, and a changing sediment supply on debris flows in contrasting monsoon‐dominated Himalayan climates

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
We modified the SedCas model to assess how glacier retreat, vegetation growth, and sediment availability and erosion timing affect debris flow activity in Langtang and Mustang, Nepal. Results reveal that landscape change reduces sediment supply and runoff response, making debris flows smaller and less seasonally concentrated under future conditions ...

Evaluation of ERA-Interim Air Temperature Data over the Qilian Mountains of China

Advances in Meteorology, 2020
In this study, 2 m air temperature data from 24 meteorological stations in the Qilian Mountains (QLM) are examined to evaluate ERA-Interim reanalysis temperature data derived from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) for the ...

Extreme rainfall reshapes permafrost thermal regimes across the Northern Hemisphere

Nature Communications
Extreme rainfall can alter thermal and hydrological dynamics of the active layer in permafrost regions, potentially accelerating thaw and climate feedbacks, yet the specific controls on soil temperature responses remain unclear.

Enhancing the Advanced Lake Biogeochemistry Model for Application to Thermokarst Lakes on Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Thermokarst lakes on Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, yet the underlying governing processes remain poorly understood. This study refines the Advanced Lake Biogeochemistry Model (ALBM) to characterize the unique environmental and biogeochemical processes of QTP thermokarst lakes. Key improvements

Intensifying Climate Extremes Over the Tibetan Plateau: Past–Future Changes and Implications for Railway Infrastructure

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Climate extremes over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) are intensifying and can threaten high‐altitude railways by altering permafrost stability, freeze–thaw regimes, drainage pressure, and hydro‐geomorphic hazards, yet their evolution for railways remains insufficiently quantified. Using CN05.1 observations (1961–2022) and an evaluated NEX‐GDDP‐CMIP6

Discriminating types of precipitation in Qilian Mountains, Tibetan Plateau

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2016
AbstractStudy regionHulugou River Basin (HRB) of Qilian Mountains, eastern edge of Tibetan Plateau.Study focusTraditional manual observations only record point-scale precipitation rather than regional-scale precipitation. Automatic weather stations just record precipitation amount without discriminating by type of precipitation.

Thermokarst lake drainage halves the temperature sensitivity of CH4 release on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Nature Communications
Thermokarst lakes as hot spots of methane (CH4) release are crucial for predicting permafrost carbon feedback to global warming. These lakes are suffering from serious drainage events, however, the impacts of lake drainage on CH4 release remain unclear ...

Spatial patterns and drivers of permafrost peatlands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Geoderma
Under climate warming, permafrost thaw increasingly destabilizes alpine peatlands, which sustain vital carbon sequestration and hydrological regulation services.
