The effective humidity, resulting from the balance between evapotranspiration and
precipitation, largely controls the environmental conditions under the highly continental …

Pleistocene floods, from ice-dammed lakes in the Russian Altai Mountains, are among the
largest freshwater megafloods in Earth history. Improved dating techniques have led to new …

Determining what caused the global Last Glaciation and last glacial termination, despite
opposing orbital summer insolation signatures between the polar hemispheres, remains a …

The over 2200 lakes of Mongolia are generally poorly studied, particularly the glacial lakes.
This overview study presents a classification of the glacial lakes based on tectonic …

Asia is the world's largest but youngest continent, in which Pacific-type (P-type) and collision-
type (C-type) orogenic belts coexist with numerous amalgamated continental blocks. P-type …

Permafrost in Mongolia shows highly heterogeneous features in space and the contents of
ground ice are dependent on the local geographies such as topography, ground wetness …

This paper presents a model for the generation of hydrous-carbonated plumes (HCPs) in the
mantle transition zone (MTZ) linking (i) the Pacific-type convergent margins;(ii) melt …

Mongolia's cryosphere is relatively poorly studied; this review sheds light on the research on
paleoglaciations, recent glaciers, and permafrost. Historical works mostly added to …

In semi-arid central Mongolia, geomorphological dynamics and forest distribution are
commonly regarded as a result of the climatic development over the Holocene. The aim of …

Abstract The Late Quaternary hydroclimatic evolution of lake systems in Mongolia remains
unclear. Here we present a record of lake level variations at Orog Nuur in the Valley of Gobi …
