Abstract The Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH hereafter) region is characterized by
mountainous environments and a variety of regional climatic conditions. High-altitude …

Snow is a critically important and rapidly changing feature of the Arctic. However, snow-
cover and snowpack conditions change through time pose challenges for measuring and …

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 …

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 …

The enhancement of warming rates with elevation, so-called elevation-dependent warming
(EDW), is one of the regional, still not completely understood, expressions of global …

We use the output of twenty-seven Global Climate Models participating in the Coupled
Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) to investigate the temperature changes and …

The Himalayas is an essential component of the cryosphere due to the large extent of snow
or ice cover. The map** and monitoring of snow cover variability over the Himalayas is the …

Seasonal snowpack is a key water resource and plays an important role in regional climate.
However, how seasonal snow mass is distributed over space and time is not fully …

Snow is a crucial component of the hydrological cycle in the Western Himalaya. Water from
snowmelt is used in various sectors in downstream regions, thus playing a critical role in …

Assessment and modelling of hydro-sedimentological flows of a high-altitude river system is
a critical step for develo** and managing sustainable water resource projects and best …
