The western Nyainqentanglha Range is located in the south-eastern centre of the Tibetan Plateau. Its northwestern slopes drain into Lake Nam Co. The region is of special interest for glacio-climatological research as it is influenced by both the continental climate of Central Asia and the Indian Monsoon system, and situated at the transition zone between temperate and subcontinental glaciers.

Abstract The goal to limit the increase in global temperature below 2 °C requires reaching a balance between anthropogenic emissions and reductions (sinks) second half of this century. As carbon sinks, forests can potentially play an important role capture. Paris Agreement (2015) signatory countries reduce deforestation, while conserving enhancing sinks. Innovative approaches may help foresters...

Denudation is one of the main processes that shapes landscapes. Because temperature, precipitation and glacial extents are key factors involved in denudation, climatic fluctuations thought to exert a strong control on this parameter over geological timescales. However, direct impacts variations denudation remain controversial, particularly those involving Quaternary cycles mountain environments...
