Glacier mass balance is among the clearest natural indicators of ongoing climate change and is important for the assessment of water resources and sea-level rise. However, few...

Lake-ice phenology (LIP) is an essential indicator of climate change and helps to understand regional characteristics of the climate change impact. Ground observation records...

Snow cover over Tibetan Plateau plays an important role in regional water andenergy circulation. Snow ablation also affects downstream rivers. Snow parameters and their longterm...

Climate change is intensifying glacier melting and lake development in High Mountain Asia (HMA), which could increase glacial lake outburst flood hazards and impact water...

The High Mountain Asia (HMA) region is a geographical unit, holds the largest reservoir of glaciers and snow outside Earth poles. Four datasets were thus obtained: Glacier- and...

High Asia is a high-altitude region in Asia dominated by the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is an important distribution area for snow in the middle and low latitudes. The dynamic...

Located in southeastern Tibetan Plateau, the Kangri Karpo Mountains extents about 280 km from north-west to south-east, south of Bomê County and neighboring Motuo, Zayü and Basu...

High Asia is a region dotted with lakes, sensitive to changes that are occurring in the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere. It is thus a focus for researchers. Due to...

High Mountain Asia is an Asian high altitude area with the Tibetan Plateau as the main area and is also an important distribution area of low and middle latitude mountain snow....

This database is a selection and overview of typical glacier and permafrost disasters in mountains. The database is by no means complete, nor are the disaster descriptions...

The GTN-G, through its operational bodies, implements the global observation strategy for the Essential Climate Variable “glaciers and ice caps” by compiling and disseminating...

The Fluctuations of Glaciers (FoG) database contains observations on glacier changes in length, area, volume and mass. In addition it includes information on glacier-related...

Welcome to NGA's Open Data Application where publicly released data and services can be discovered, viewed, and downloaded in a variety of formats. Simply use the search bar at...

The Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) project at NSIDC has implemented a database of glacier outlines from around the world and other information about glaciers...

High Asia is very sensitive to climate change and is a hot area of global change research. The changes in temperature and precipitation will be reflected in the freezing and...

The Tanggula Mountains are located in the central part of the Tibetan Plateau (31°15′–34°45′N, 90°23′–95°52′E), are bordered by the Zulkkora Mountains to the west and by the...

The degree-day model, a widely used approach for ice and snow melt computation, rests upon a relationship between snow or ice melt and air temperature that is usually expressed...

With abundant types and large coverage of alpine vegetation, the Tibetan Plateau has been a hot region for researches on the spatial distribution and phenological changes of...

Glacier mass balance is among the clearest natural indicators of ongoing climate change and is important for the assessment of water resources and sea-level rise. However, few...

While climate-driven glacier change significantly impacts regional water resources, particularly the hydrological cycle, glacier elevation change is a key indicator of climate...
