Abstract Observations show that glaciers around the world are in retreat and losing mass. Internationally coordinated for over a century, glacier monitoring activities provide an unprecedented dataset of observations from ground, air space. Glacier studies generally select specific parts these datasets to obtain optimal assessments mass-balance data relating impact exercise on global sea-level fluctuations or regional runoff. In this study we overview analysis main observational compiled by...
The isotopic composition of precipitation has been measured in samples simultaneously collected during individual events at two neighbouring high-altitude stations (Houxia 2100 m a.s.l. and Gaoshan 3545 a.s.l.) the Tianshan Mts., northwest China. observed changes δ18O (δ2H) deuterium excess with surface air temperature, altitude season have evaluated to derive information on effects subcloud evaporation moisture recycling formation its under arid climatic conditions. Consulting long-term...
Abstract On the basis of field measurements changes in groundwater level and plant species abundance along nine transects crossing Tarim River Xinjiang, China, we examined responses communities to a government‐controlled 7‐year recharge regime lower reaches river. Our results showed that water recharges considerably lifted table on both sides river course. The 6–8‐m depths before rose 2–4 m after recharges. In transverse direction, response could be observed at as far 850 from course,...
Direct measurement of the thickness mountain glaciers is difficult over large areas, yet knowledge essential for calculating their volumes and future evolution. We develop a new method estimating ice along glacier flow lines, using “perfect‐plasticity” rheological assumption that relates surface slope to yield stress. Previous studies have used this with shallow‐ice approximation estimate thickness, but standard approach neglects effect side drag on stress balance. Our addresses shortcoming...
Monitoring studies show that many mountain glaciers worldwide are decreasing in mass. An important component of the process ice mass loss is effect dust on albedo and its glacier balance. The characteristics surface were investigated August 2006 Ürümqi Glacier No. 1 Tien Shan Mountains, China. bare was mostly covered by brown dust. amounts (dry weight) ranged from 86 to 1113 g m−2 (mean: 335 m−2, standard deviation: = 211), which within normal range for Asian glaciers, but significantly...
Abstract Cryoconite granules are dark-colored spherical aggregates of organic and inorganic material on glacier ice, commonly observed glaciers the world over. The structure cryoconite Ürümqi No. 1, Tien Shan, China, was analyzed. Granules were distributed over entire ice surface ablation area, ranged in size from 0.26 to 3.5 mm (mean 1.1 mm). granule densely covered with filamentous cyanobacteria. Microscopy a thin section revealed various inner structures. Most had concentric layers dense...
Abstract. Rock glaciers are widespread in the Tien Shan. However, rock Chinese part of Shan have not been systematically investigated for more than 2 decades. In this study, we propose a new method that combines SAR interferometry and optical images from Google Earth to map active (ARGs) northern (NTS) China. We compiled an inventory includes 261 ARGs quantitative information about their locations, geomorphic parameters, downslope velocities. Our shows most moraine-derived (69 %) facing...
Cryoconites are microbial aggregates commonly found on glacier surfaces where they tend to take spherical, granular forms. While it has been postulated that the microbes in cryoconite granules play an important role ecosystems, information their community structure is still limited, and functions remain unclear. Here, we present evidence for occurrence of nitrogen cycling a Central Asia. We detected marker genes fixation, nitrification denitrification by digital polymerase chain reaction...
The Tibetan Plateau and its surroundings contain the largest number of glaciers outside polar regions. In past 100 years, on surrounding areas have been retreating slowly. Since 1990s, however, state has undergone abnormal changes. Compared with data derived from First Chinese Glacier Inventory (CGI) (1960s−1980s), glacier volume in China decreased by approximately 20% area was reduced 17.7%, based Second CGI. particular, mass loss small characterized an less than 1 km2 more intensive that...
Ecological environment in the arid areas of Northwest China is very vulnerable. vulnerability considered to be one important indicators measure status and evolutions regional ecological has become a key study change. However, studies on whole county scale are currently sparse. Here, according vegetation, land use type, topography, climate socio-economic data, we present spatial temporal evolution over period 2000–2018 by structuring "pressure (P)-sensitivity (S)-restoration (R)" evaluation...
This study analyzes long‐term climate and glacier records to examine change response over the past 45 years in Urumqi River source region, Tianshan Mountains of China. The results show that summer temperature annual precipitation near increased by 0.8°C 87 mm (19%), respectively, during period. continuously retreated from 1962 2003, with cumulated mass balance being −10,032 mm, or 20% volume.

Short‐term (6 months to 17 years) glaciochemical records have been collected from glacier basins throughout the mountains of central Asia. The spatial distribution snow chemistry in Asia is controlled predominantly by influx dust arid and semi‐arid regions data suggests that glaciers which are removed large source areas mineral aerosol, such as those Himalaya, Karakoram, southeastern Tibetan Plateau, ones most likely contain longer‐term detail annual decadal variation strength Asian monsoon...
Abstract The runoff records of streams draining basins with between 0 and approximately 54% glacier cover, located at the headwaters Urumqi River in eastern Tianshan, central Asia, have been examined for purpose assessing climatic glacial influences on temporal patterns streamflow period 1959–2006. Runoff highest glacierized basin is found to be inversely correlated mass‐balance data increased by 165·1 × 10 4 m 3 or 1·5 times average from 1959 2006, whereas flow a glacier‐free reflects...
Glaciers and ice sheets are considered a biome with unique organism assemblages. Tardigrada (water bears) micrometazoans that play the function of apex consumers on glaciers. Cryoconite samples dark-pigmented tardigrade Cryoconicus gen. nov. kaczmareki sp. were collected from four locations glaciers in China Kyrgyzstan.
