The snowline altitude at the end of melting season (SLA-EMS) provides a possibility to
rapidly obtain a proxy for their equilibrium line altitude (ELA) which in turn is an indicator for …

In the context of global warming, relevant studies have shown that China will experience the
largest temperature rise in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and northwestern regions in the future …

Snow phenology, recurrent seasonal patterns in snow cover and snowfall, has been
significantly affected by global warming. Through the interaction with the climate, the …

At a local scale, snow cover is influenced by terrain properties, and it affects water
availability across some arid and semiarid regions. This study aimed to quantify the spatial …

This article presents the distribution of seasonal snow cover in the Trans-Himalayan region
of Ladakh over the observation period of 2000–2019. Seasonal snow cover area and …

The snow cover over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) and its surrounding areas is very
sensitive to climate changes. Due to the complexity of geographical environment in this …

The sequestration of carbon in forests plays a crucial role in mitigating global climate
change and achieving carbon neutrality goals. Carbon use efficiency (CUE) is an essential …

Large quantities of organic matter are stored in frozen soils (permafrost) within the Qinghai–
Tibetan Plateau (QTP). The most of QTP regions in particular have experienced significant …

We have developed an algorithm for cloud detection in Chinese GF-1/6 satellite
multispectral images, allowing us to generate cloud masks at the pixel level. Due to the lack …

Xinjiang, China, is a typical arid and semi-arid region of Central Asia that significantly lacks
freshwater resources, and the surface runoff in this region is mainly supplied by mountain …
