Microplastics are an emerging and persistent pollutant due to their threat to global
ecological systems and human health. Recent studies showed that microplastics have …

Commonly known as the Asian Water Tower, glaciers in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and its
surrounding regions are vital to the regional water cycle and water resources in the …

Glaciers are key components of the mountain water towers of Asia and are vital for
downstream domestic, agricultural, and industrial uses. The glacier mass loss rate over the …

Rivers originating in the Tibetan Plateau provide freshwater to downstream populations, yet
runoff projections from warming are unclear due to precipitation uncertainties. Here, we use …

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 …

Light‐absorbing impurities (LAIs) in snow of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP) and their
climatic impacts are of interest not only because this region borders areas affected by the …

Micoroplastics (MPs) can be transported through atmospheric circulations, and have caused
global attentions due to their potential risk to the environment. In this study, MPs in snowpit …

Alpine glaciers and permafrost are sensitive to climate change, and their degradation due to
annual temperature increasing has already induced many mass movements such as debris …

Abstract Light-absorbing impurities (LAIs), such as organic carbon (OC), black carbon (BC),
and mineral dust (MD) deposited on the glacier surface can reduce albedo, thus …

Abstract The Third Pole experiences accelerated glacier retreating particularly in the eastern‐
Himalaya, coinciding with a decrease of monsoon‐precipitation in the early 21st century …
