Global warming-induced melting and thawing of the cryosphere are severely altering the
volume and timing of water supplied from High Mountain Asia, adversely affecting …

Abstract Glaciers in the Himalaya–Karakoram mountain ranges harbour approximately half
of the ice volume in High-mountain Asia and modulate the flow of freshwater to almost 869 …

Glaciers distinct from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are shrinking rapidly, altering
regional hydrology, raising global sea level and elevating natural hazards. Yet, owing to the …

Rivers originating in High Mountain Asia are crucial lifelines for one-third of the world's
population. These fragile headwaters are now experiencing amplified climate change …

Mountains are the water towers of the world, supplying a substantial part of both natural and
anthropogenic water demands,. They are highly sensitive and prone to climate change,, yet …

The rate of global-mean sea-level rise since 1900 has varied over time, but the contributing
factors are still poorly understood. Previous assessments found that the summed …

The AR5 concluded that human influence on the climate system is clear, evident from
increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, positive radiative forcing …

Abstract Knowledge about the long-term response of High Mountain Asian glaciers to
climatic variations is paramount because of their important role in sustaining Asian river flow …

Anthropogenic mercury (Hg) emissions have driven marked increases in Arctic Hg levels,
which are now being impacted by regional warming, with uncertain ecological …

Rapid atmospheric warming since the mid-twentieth century has increased temperature-
