The wide distribution of natural lakes over the Tibetan Plateau, the highest and largest
plateau on Earth, have received extensive attention due to global warming. In this Review …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) exerts strong thermal forcing on the atmosphere over
Asian monsoon region and supplies water resources to adjacent river basins. Recently, the …

Abstract The Inner Tibetan Plateau (ITP; also called the Qiangtang Plateau) appears to have
experienced an overall wetting in summer (June, July, and August) since the mid-1990s …

Asia's high plateaus are sensitive to climate change and have been experiencing rapid
warming over the past few decades. We found 99 new lakes and extensive lake expansion …

Lakes are integrators of environmental change occurring at both the regional and global
scale. They present a wide range of behavior on a variety of timescales (cyclic and secular) …

Change in lake water storage is an important factor influencing hydrological cycle, regional
environment, and climate on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) because of the large number (> 1000 …

The mass balance in the Inner Tibet Plateau (ITP) derived from the Gravity Recovery and
Climate Experiment (GRACE) showed a positive rate that was attributed to the glacier mass …

The water balance of inland lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) involves complex
hydrological processes; their dynamics over recent decades is a good indicator of changes …

Understanding the changes in number and areal extent of lakes, as well as their abundance
and size distribution is important for assessments of regional and global water resources …

Lakes and vegetation are important factors of the Earth's hydrological cycle and can be
called an “indicator” of climate change. In this study, long-term changes of lakes' area and …
