The Western End of the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

, 1989
The Tibetan plateau terminates between the NW-SE oriented, right-lateral strike slip Karakorum fault and the E-W oriented, left-lateral strike slip Altyn-Tagh fault, forming a wedge from wich Tibet is now being extruded eastwards.

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.

Spatial and temporal variation of daytime and nighttime MODIS land surface temperature across Nepal

Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, 2019
Land surface temperature (LST) is an important variable for assessing climate change and related environmental impacts observed in recent decades. Regular monitoring of LST using satellite sensors such as MODIS has the advantage of global coverage ...

A comprehensive water bodies dataset of high-mountain Asia

Scientific Data
High-Mountain Asia (HMA) hosts numerous water bodies that are highly sensitive to climate change. However, many of them, especially small ones, remain understudied due to the region’s complex terrain and extreme environmental conditions.

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 Global Methane Observation System to Reduce Uncertainty for Anthropogenic and Natural Sources and Sinks for Detecting and Attributing Climate Feedbacks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conceptual illustration of a Global Ecosystem Methane Observing System (GEM‐OS) integrating satellites, aircraft, atmospheric networks, and ecosystem measurements to quantify methane emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources. The multi‐scale observing framework improves source attribution, reduces uncertainty in regional methane budgets, and ...

Future global annual frozen ground distribution datasets based on Frost Number Model with Kappa coefficient

Scientific Data
Permafrost, which underlies roughly one-fifth of global land area, is highly vulnerable to ongoing climate warming and its degradation has important implications for hydrological processes, carbon cycling, ecosystems, and infrastructure stability.

Two Contrasting Exhumation Scenarios of Deeply Subducted Continental Crust in North Pakistan

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
In Western Himalayan Syntaxis, the India‐Asia continental collision occurred at ca. 50 Ma, while its uplift history and exhumation mechanism are still in dispute despite decades of studies. A new type of eclogite was found in Naran, located ca.
