The snow cover products of optical remote sensing systems play an important role in
research into global climate change, the hydrological cycle, and the energy balance …

Climate change (CC) and human activities (HA) are the main reasons for the restoration/
degradation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) grassland. Many related studies have been …

The snowline altitude at the end of melting season (SLA-EMS) provides a possibility to
rapidly obtain a proxy for their equilibrium line altitude (ELA) which in turn is an indicator for …

Region-wide investigation of glacier change in High Mountain Asia marked the strongest
recession in southeastern Tibetan Plateau (SETP) in recent decades. However, evident …

Qinghai Province has a very fragile ecological environment and is an important component
of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. To understand the disturbance caused by human activities to …

We present a method for estimation of regional snowline elevation (RSLE) from satellite data
for seasonally snow covered mountain basins. The methodology is based on finding an …

Recent studies on glaciers in the West Kunlun Shan, northwest Tibetan Plateau, have
shown that they may be stable or retreating slightly. Here, we assess changes in the mass of …

The seasonal snow cover of the Tibetan Plateau exerts a profound environmental influence
both regionally and globally. Daily observations of snow depth at 37 meteorological stations …

Snowmelt significantly contributes to meltwater in most parts of High Mountain Asia. The
Karakoram region is one of these densely glacierized and snow-covered regions. Several …
