Warming amplification over the Arctic Pole (AP hereafter) and Third Pole (Tibetan Plateau,
TP hereafter) can trigger a series of climate responses and have global consequences …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) impacts local and remote atmospheric circulations,
wherein it mechanically and thermally affects air masses or airflows. Moreover, the TP …

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) has the largest areas of permafrost terrain in the mid-and low-
latitude regions of the world. Some permafrost distribution maps have been compiled but …

Data scarcity is a major obstacle for high-resolution mapping of permafrost on the Tibetan
Plateau (TP). This study produces a new permafrost stability distribution map for the 2010s …

Variation in snow cover over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is a key component of climate change
and variability, and critical for many hydrological and biological processes. This review first …

The cryosphere is defined by the presence of frozen water in its many forms: glaciers, ice
caps, ice sheets, snow, permafrost, and river and lake ice. In the extended Hindu Kush …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP), the highest and largest plateau in the world, with complex
and competing cryospheric‐hydrologic‐geodynamic processes, is particularly sensitive to …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau and surroundings contain the largest number of glaciers
outside the polar regions. These glaciers are at the headwaters of many prominent Asian …

Air temperature increases thermally degrade permafrost, which has widespread impacts on
engineering design, resource development, and environmental protection in cold regions …

Warming trends and increasing temperature extremes have been observed across most of
the Asian region over the past century (high confidence).{24.3} Increasing numbers of warm …
