Grazing reverses climate-induced soil carbon gains on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Nature Communications
Soil carbon stocks on the Tibetan Plateau are widely considered to be increasingly threatened by drastic climate warming and intensified livestock grazing. But it remains elusive due to unconstrained model projections.

Early warning system for ice collapses and river blockages in the Sedongpu Valley, southeastern Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023
The Tibetan Plateau and its surroundings have recently experienced several catastrophic glacier-related disasters. It is of great scientific and practical significance to establish ground-based early warning systems (EWSs) to understand the processes and

Inverse altitude effect disputes the theoretical foundation of stable isotope paleoaltimetry

Nature Communications, 2022
The “inverse altitude effect” (IEA) directly contradicts the basic theory of stable isotope paleoaltimetry. This study explores the causes of the IAE from an atmospheric circulation perspective using δD in water vapor on the global scale.

Evaluation of GPM-Era Satellite Precipitation Products on the Southern Slopes of the Central Himalayas Against Rain Gauge Data

Remote Sensing, 2020
The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission provides high-resolution precipitation estimates globally. However, their accuracy needs to be accessed for algorithm enhancement and hydro-meteorological applications.

Magnetic Proxy of Eurasian Loess Revealing Enhanced Physical Erosion Since the Mid‐Pleistocene Transition

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Eolian loess deposits contain valuable information about past climate changes and erosion history in dust source regions. In contrast to the extensive investigations of paleoclimatic implications of Eurasian loess, continental erosion information in the ...

Decadal Changes in Glacier Area, Surface Elevation and Mass Balance for 2000–2020 in the Eastern Tanggula Mountains Using Optical Images and TanDEM-X Radar Data

Remote Sensing, 2022
The response of lake-terminating glaciers to climate change is complex, and their rapid changes are often closely linked to glacial-lake outburst floods. However, the eastern Tanggula Mountains, which are the only area where lake-terminating glaciers are

Tibetan Plateau and beyond

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2012
Third Annual Third Pole Environment Workshop; Reykjavík, Iceland, 29 August to 1 September 2011 Recognizing the necessity of multinational, interdisciplinary environmental research on the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding mountain ranges—dubbed the “Third Pole” for its considerable ice mass and high elevation— the Third Pole Environment (TPE) program ...

A Quantification of Heat Storage Change-Based Evaporation Behavior in Middle–Large-Sized Lakes in the Inland of the Tibetan Plateau and Their Temporal and Spatial Variations

Remote Sensing, 2023
A large number of different-sized lakes exist in the inland area of the Tibetan Plateau (TP), which are examples of the important connection between the atmosphere and hydrosphere through the analysis of lake surface convergence and evaporation processes.
