Glaciohydrology of the himalaya-karakoram
BACKGROUND The Himalayan-Karakoram (HK) region in south Asia is one of the most
heavily glacierized and vulnerable mountainous regions on Earth. The Indus, Ganges, and …

Manifestations and mechanisms of the Karakoram glacier Anomaly
Global-scale glacier shrinkage is one of the most prominent signs of ongoing climatic
change. However, important differences in glacier response exist at the regional scale, and …

High Mountain Asian glacier response to climate revealed by multi-temporal satellite observations since the 1960s
Abstract Knowledge about the long-term response of High Mountain Asian glaciers to
climatic variations is paramount because of their important role in sustaining Asian river flow …

Asia's shrinking glaciers protect large populations from drought stress
HD Pritchard - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
About 800 million people depend in part on meltwater from the thousands of glaciers in the
high mountains of Asia. Water stress makes this region vulnerable to drought, but glaciers …

Impact of a global temperature rise of 1.5 degrees Celsius on Asia's glaciers
Glaciers in the high mountains of Asia (HMA) make a substantial contribution to the water
supply of millions of people,, and they are retreating and losing mass as a result of …

A systematic, regional assessment of high mountain Asia glacier mass balance
High-mountain Asia (HMA) constitutes the largest glacierized region outside of the Earth's
polar regions. Although available observations are limited, long-term records indicate …

Recent global decline in endorheic basin water storages
Endorheic (hydrologically landlocked) basins spatially concur with arid/semi-arid climates.
Given limited precipitation but high potential evaporation, their water storage is vulnerable to …

Twenty-first century glacier slowdown driven by mass loss in High Mountain Asia
Abstract Glaciers in High Mountain Asia have experienced heterogeneous rates of loss
since the 1970s. Yet, the associated changes in ice flow that lead to mass redistribution and …
