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 …

BACKGROUND The Himalayan-Karakoram (HK) region in south Asia is one of the most
heavily glacierized and vulnerable mountainous regions on Earth. The Indus, Ganges, and …

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 …

Densely populated floodplains downstream of Asia's mountain ranges depend heavily on
mountain water resources, in particular for irrigation. An intensive and complex multi …

Abstract Irrigated agriculture in South Asia depends on meltwater, monsoon rains and
groundwater. Climate change alters the hydrology and causes shifts in the timing …

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 …

Rivers originating in the Tibetan Plateau provide freshwater to downstream populations, yet
runoff projections from warming are unclear due to precipitation uncertainties. Here, we use …

Glaciers in High Mountain Asia are an important freshwater resource for large populations
living downstream who rely on runoff for hydropower, irrigation, and municipal use …

The hydrological response to climate change in mountainous basins manifests itself at
varying spatial and temporal scales, ranging from catchment to large river basin scale and …

Regional climate change (CC) and land use changes (LUCs) can significantly influence the
hydrological processes at watershed scale. Different studies have investigated the impact of …
