Climate change and water resources in the Himalayas by Joëlle Smadja, Olivia Aubriot, Ornella Puschiasis, Thierry Duplan, Juliette Grimaldi, Mickaël Hugonnet, Pauline Buchheit

“…Among other things, they provide information about snow, a parameter that has been measured incorrectly and underestimated in simulations, and they show that populations are more affected by fluctuations in rainfall patterns than by the melting of glaciers and the snow cover. Lastly, they highlight the geographical units and population groups most likely to be affected by climatic variations.…”

Using Borehole Temperatures for Knowledge Transfer about Mountain Permafrost: The Example of the 35-year Time Series at Murtèl-Corvatsch (Swiss Alps) by Wilfried Haeberli, Jeannette Noetzli, Daniel Vonder Mühll

“…Thermal anomalies caused by global warming already now reach about 100 meters depth, thereby reducing the ground ice content, causing accelerated creep of ice-rich frozen talus/debris (so-called “rock glaciers”) and reducing the stability of large frozen bedrock masses at steep icy faces and peaks.…”

Evaluation of Water Storage Change of Inland Cryosphere in Northwestern China by Min Xu, Shichang Kang, Jiazhen Li

“…Clear seasonal variations of WSC and precipitation were found, because glacial meltwater and precipitation are the main sources of water in the hydrosphere; meanwhile, the distributions of glaciers and permafrost also affect the spatial distribution of WSC.…”

The Evolutionary Characteristics of Lower Permian Keziliqiman Reefs in the Southwest Margin of Tarim Basin, Northwest China by Yijun Wang, Hongming Tang, Guang Yang, Zhenyu Wang, Yunfeng Zhang, Lei Chen

“…Paleontological and geochemical characteristics of the Sangzhu reef indicate that the sea-level decline in southwest Tarim Basin may be related to the Early Permian glaciers. Since then, the reef began to be transformed by diagenesis. …”
