Central Asia is the world's largest non-zonal arid area, with rare and uneven precipitation.
As a sensitive area of global change and with a vulnerable ecological environment, Central …

An accurate ice thickness distribution is crucial for correct projections of the future state of an
ice mass. However, measuring the ice thickness with an in situ system is time-consuming …

Abstract In the Tien Shan, few modelling studies exist that examine in detail how individual
ice bodies are responding to climate change. Nonetheless, earlier research demonstrated …

The thermal regime of glaciers and ice caps represents the internal distribution of ice
temperatures. An accurate knowledge of the thermal regime of glaciers and ice caps is …

Glaciers in the Tien Shan are vital for freshwater supply, emphasising the importance of
modelling their future evolution. While detailed 3D models are suitable for well-studied …

Understanding the spatiotemporal variability of glacier mass balance in the Third Pole (TP)
is important in the predictability of regional water supplies and glacier-related natural …

Accurately quantifying runoff sources and understanding hydrological processes in
glaciated mountain basins is essential for effective water resource management in the face …

Mass balance measurements for Golubin glacier in Northern Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan, have
been discontinuous over the last century, with significant data gaps. We provide a unique …

The geodetic mass balance of a glacier corresponds to glacier-wide volume changes,
converted to mass changes using density assumptions. It is typically calculated by …

Understanding how future climate change impacts glaciers is crucial to sustainable water
supplies and water resource managements. A calibrated degree-day glacier mass balance …
