Response of Tibetan Plateau lakes to climate change: Trends, patterns, and mechanisms
The wide distribution of natural lakes over the Tibetan Plateau, the highest and largest
plateau on Earth, have received extensive attention due to global warming. In this Review …

High mountain areas
The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

A systematic, regional assessment of high mountain Asia glacier mass balance
High-mountain Asia (HMA) constitutes the largest glacierized region outside of the Earth's
polar regions. Although available observations are limited, long-term records indicate …

Hazard from Himalayan glacier lake outburst floods
G Veh, O Korup, A Walz - Proceedings of the National …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
Sustained glacier melt in the Himalayas has gradually spawned more than 5,000 glacier
lakes that are dammed by potentially unstable moraines. When such dams break, glacier …

Glacial lakes exacerbate Himalayan glacier mass loss
Heterogeneous glacier mass loss has occurred across High Mountain Asia on a multi-
decadal timescale. Contrasting climatic settings influence glacier behaviour at the regional …

Comprehensive estimation of lake volume changes on the Tibetan Plateau during 1976–2019 and basin-wide glacier contribution
Volume changes and water balances of the lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) are spatially
heterogeneous and the lake-basin scale drivers remain unclear. In this study, we …

[HTML][HTML] A regionally resolved inventory of High Mountain Asia surge-type glaciers, derived from a multi-factor remote sensing approach
Abstract Knowledge about the occurrence and characteristics of surge-type glaciers is
crucial due to the impact of surging on glacier melt and glacier-related hazards. One of the …
