is the largest global store of frozen water after the polar regions, provides a reliable water …

Climate change is one of the most severe threats to global lake ecosystems. Lake surface
conditions, such as ice cover, surface temperature, evaporation and water level, respond …

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 …

Executive summary Land and climate interact in complex ways through changes in forcing
and multiple biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks across different spatial and …

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 …

While terrestrial evapotranspiration (ET) from the Tibetan Plateau (TP) plays a key role in
modulating water storage change in the Asian Water Tower, the magnitude, trend, and …

Lakes are sensitive indicators of anthropogenic climate change and also respond to direct
human activities. Yet, long-term lake inventories and quantitative evaluation of the factors …

Abstract Lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) are an indicator and sentinel of climatic changes
