DOI: 10.1017/jog.2023.5
Abstract: Despite their extreme elevation, glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau are losing mass in response to atmospheric warming, the pattern of which purportedly reflects regional contrasts in climate. Here we examine the evolution of glaciers along… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2301467120
Abstract: In our study (1) we reconstructed the last 45 y of glacial evolution in the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau and revealed that decadal changes in spring and monsoon precipitation have respectively mitigated and accentuated glacier mass… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10106049.2020.1844309
Abstract: The Himalayan glaciers significantly contribute to the largest river systems like the Indus, Ganga, and the Brahmaputra. The change in glacial area and mass can affect the mountain community and pe... read more here.
