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 …

Owing to usual logistic hardships related to field-based cryospheric research, remote
sensing has played a significant role in understanding the frozen components of the Earth …

The growing popularity of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in recent years, along with

Abstract The city of Yerevan, Armenia has undergone major environmental and economic
changes after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The objectives of this study were to:(i) …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems, sensors, and photogrammetric processing
techniques have enabled timely and highly detailed three-dimensional surface …

Climate change is altering river temperature regimes, modifying the dynamics of
temperature‐sensitive fishes. The ability to map river temperature is therefore important for …

The thinning patterns of debris‐covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia are not well
understood. Here we calculate the effect of supraglacial ice cliffs on the mass balance of all …

Glaciers respond sensitively to climate variability and change, with associated impacts on
meltwater production, sea-level rise and geomorphological hazards. There is a strong …

Remotely-sensed data are a source of rich information and are valuable for precision
agricultural tasks such as soil quality, plant disease analysis, crop stress assessment, and …

Surface soil moisture is a critical but often neglected component of the hydrologic budget.
Within mountain environments, surface soil moisture is highly heterogeneous and …
