Regional studies of fluvial landforms and long-term (Quaternary) landscape development in
remote mountain landscapes routinely use satellite-derived DEM data sets. The SRTM and …

This paper provides a review of the dates used to define major hydrologic changes in the
Caspian Sea during the Late Pleistocene that includes the Early Khvalynian and Hyrcanian …

Several hundred thousand year old moraines preserved in the semi-arid environment of
High Mountain Asia attest to Middle Pleistocene glaciations, but the regional correlation of …

Although rock glaciers (RGs) are prevalent in the southwestern Pamirs, systematic studies
on them are scarce. This article introduces the first inventory of RGs in the southwestern …

Abstract The Pamir Plateau, NW prolongation of the Tibetan Plateau, experienced late
Cenozoic thrusting and extensional shearing/faulting and mainly receives moisture from the …

The uplift history of the Pamir-Tian Shan orogens remains debated, and is crucial to
understanding the aridification of Central Asia. To address this question, we performed …

Determining the spatial and temporal variations of Pleistocene glaciations is key to
understanding present-day climate-driven glacier changes. Glacial chronologies of high …

Abstract The Pamir Mountains are one of the highest mountain systems in the world; they act
as sources of fresh water for the main rivers of Central Asia: the Amudaria and Syrdaria …

Eolian loess deposits contain valuable information about past climate changes and erosion
history in dust source regions. In contrast to the extensive investigations of paleoclimatic …

Water resource is the primary factor impacting socio-economic development and security in
arid Central Asia where high water stress occurs. Therefore, understanding the mechanism …
