Determinations of glacier-wide mass and energy balance are still scarce for the remote
mountains of the Tibetan Plateau, where field measurements are challenging. Here we run …

The alpine ecosystem of the Western Nyainqentanglha region, located in the Central
Tibetan Plateau, has experienced a lot of changes in the context of climatic change. The …

Lake level and area variations are sensitive to regional climate changes and can be used to
indirectly estimate water balances of lakes. In this study, 10 of the largest lakes in China,∼ …

Hydrological observations including precipitation, runoff, evaporation and lake level were
performed in detail in the basin of the Lake Nam Co in the southern-central Tibetan Plateau …

Climate variables that control the annual cycle of the surface energy and mass balance on
Zhadang glacier in the central Tibetan Plateau were examined over a 2 year period using a …

To clarify runoff and climate change trends and its relation in typical rivers in the arid region
of northwest China (ANC), this study takes the runoff and meteorological data of 11 rivers in …

Global warming has resulted in substantial glacier retreats in high-elevation areas, exposing
deglaciated soils to harsh environmental conditions. Autotrophic microbes are pioneering …

Glaciers, particularly alpine glaciers, have been receding globally at an accelerated rate in
recent decades. The glacial melt-induced release of pollutants (eg, mercury) and its …

Hydrologic cycles of most high altitude glacierized watersheds in the Tibetan Plateau are not
closely monitored due to their inaccessibility. Understanding the hydrologic cycle in such a …

The lack of glacier mass balance and meteorological data limit our knowledge of the spatial
pattern of glacier changes in the Pamir. Based on meteorological measurements and mass …
