Using 3D geodynamic slab models in tectonic reconstruction
… Ma. The second region of study is the Pamir and Hindu Kush. Seismic velocity anomalies and active deep seismicity here have led to numerous interpretations of the morphology of the subducted lithosphere in this region. Two possible interpretations are modelled and evaluated with reference to …

Bleeding Details
… begins at my Nani Ji’s house. Movies depicting Hindu mythology played in the background of our family gatherings- movies where Hanuman would grow to the size of a mountain or Shiva would morph between genders. These shifts between scale, gender, and material affirmed the queerness I had yet to …

Snowmelt Detection on Alpine Glaciers using Synthetic Aperture Radar Time Series
<p>Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) glaciers serve as some of the most sensitive indicators of changes in global climate. These glaciers shape the hydrologic dynamics of river systems supplying freshwater to over 2 billion people throughout Asia and regulate the geochemistry of sensitive aquatic alpine …

The Rise of a Technoscientific Third Pole: Environmental Data Practices in High Mountain Asia
… have revealed decades of glacial melt in the Hindu Kush Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau (“High Mountain Asia”). A region with a dearth of in-situ environmental data and opaque, fragmented governance, remote sensing data plays a key role in uncovering the region’s environmental concerns. These …

By hotter winds : the road to Samarkand
… a land of extremes: over the snowy peaks of the Hindu Kush and through the parched Karakum Desert; across the ancient Amu- and Syr-Darya Rivers, known in the West as the Oxus and Jaxaertes; and ultimately to our destination – the great Silk Road capitals of Bukhara and Samarkand. The last, sad …

Wind and temperature in a glacierised Himalayan valley, and their controlling mechanisms
The Hindu-Kush Karakoram Himalaya (HKKH) contains the third largest quantity of snow and ice in the world, after the Polar Regions. Meltwater from this snow and ice feeds many of the major rivers in Asia, which ultimately provide water for 1.9 billion people. Due to its complex and rugged terrain, …

Precipitation prediction over High Mountain Asia using Gaussian processes
The rivers of High Mountain Asia provide freshwater to over 1.9 billion people. However, precipitation, the main driver of river flow, is still poorly understood due to limited direct measurements in this area. Existing tools to interpolate the few available measurements or to downscale and …
