Climatic and associated cryospheric, biospheric, and hydrological changes on the Tibetan Plateau: A review
We review recent climate changes over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and associated responses
of cryospheric, biospheric, and hydrological variables. We focused on surface air …

Linkages of the dynamics of glaciers and lakes with the climate elements over the Tibetan Plateau
Future climate warming is expected to have a significant effect on the operation of Earth and
Ecological systems. A key concern in the future is water resource availability. In regions such …

Status and change of the cryosphere in the extended Hindu Kush Himalaya region
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 …

Monitoring lake level changes on the Tibetan Plateau using ICESat altimetry data (2003–2009)
In this study, ICESat altimetry data are used to provide precise lake elevations of the Tibetan
Plateau (TP) during the period of 2003–2009. Among the 261 lakes examined ICESat data …

Mid-latitude westerlies as a driver of glacier variability in monsoonal High Asia
Abstract Glaciers in High Asia store large amounts of water and are affected by climate
change. Efforts to determine decadal-scale glacier change are therefore increasing …
