Tropospheric anthropogenic aerosols contribute the second-largest forcing to climate
change, but with high uncertainty owing to their spatio-temporal variability and complicated …

The Indian summer monsoon (ISM) is one of the world's strongest monsoon systems that
brings about eighty percent of the annual rainfall to the Indian subcontinent and impacts the …

Abstract High Mountain Asia (HMA) has experienced a spatial imbalance in water resources
in recent decades, partly because of a dipolar pattern of precipitation changes known as …

Even though desert dust is the most abundant aerosol by mass in Earth's atmosphere, the
relative contributions of the world's major source regions to the global dust cycle remain …

Streamflow in high-mountain Asia is influenced by meltwater from snow and glaciers, and
determining impacts of climate change on the region's cryosphere is essential to understand …

Large wildfires reduce vegetation cover and soil moisture, leaving the temporally degraded
landscapes an emergent source of dust emission. However, the global extent of post-fire …

Two decades of drought in the southwestern USA are spurring concerns about increases in
wind erosion, dust emissions, and associated impacts on ecosystems, agriculture, human …

By darkening the snow surface, mineral dust and black carbon (BC) deposition enhances
snowmelt and triggers numerous feedbacks. Assessments of their long-term impact at the …

Although passive microwave remote sensing has been widely used for snow depth (SD)
retrieval, its coarse spatial resolution has led to large uncertainties in various applications …

Abstract Elevation-dependent warming (EDW), whereby warming rates are stratified by
elevation, may increase the threat to the life-supporting solid water reservoir on the Tibetan …
