Abstract High Mountain Asia (HMA) is among the most vulnerable water towers globally and
yet future projections of water availability in and from its high‐mountain catchments remain …

Snow, as a fundamental reservoir of freshwater, is a crucial natural resource. Specifically,
knowledge of snow density spatial and temporal variability could improve modelling of snow …

Glacier surface albedo dominates glacier energy balance, thus strongly affecting the glacier
mass balance. Glaciers in the Western Nyainqentanglha Mountains (WNM) experienced …

Mountains are important suppliers of freshwater to downstream areas, affecting large
populations in particular in High Mountain Asia (HMA). Yet, the propagation of water from …

Roads constructed on permafrost can have a significant impact on the surrounding
environment, potentially inducing permafrost degradation. These impacts arise from factors …

The conical–conical reflectance factor (CCRF) has been calculated as an alternative to the
bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) for three types of bare sea ice with …

This project explored the integrated use of satellite, ground observations and hydrological
distributed models to support water resources assessment and monitoring in High Mountain …

Albedo plays a key role in regulating the absorption of solar radiation within ice surfaces and
hence strongly regulates the production of meltwater. A combination of Landsat and Sentinel …

Looking at what's already been done may inform us which approaches have been tried and
tested, which have been successful, and which have been met with resistance in the past …

Variations in surface physicochemical properties and spatial structures can prominently
transform surface albedo which conversely influence surface energy balances and global …
