Glacier and permafrost shrinkage and land-use intensification threaten mountain wildlife
and affect nature conservation strategies. Here, we present paleometagenomic records of …

Holocene climate change between different geographic units of the Asian continent exhibits
spatiotemporal heterogeneity under the control of different atmospheric circulation systems …

Global warming has accelerated the degradation of permafrost and glaciers on the Tibetan
Plateau, resulting in a substantial release of meltwater that is affecting the regional …

The spatial and temporal interaction of the Westerlies and the Asian Summer Monsoon
