Future water resources in the Indian Himalayan region under climate change
This report uses glacio-hydrological modelling to show that climate change will significantly alter the timing and seasonality of water flows in India’s Bhagirathi River basin, creating potential risks for downstream communities despite stable overall runoff.
Human populations in the world’s mountains: Spatio-temporal patterns and potential controls
Delve into the data and trends of human populations in mountainous regions, and explore the associations between mountain populations and different environmental covariates. Findings may inform predictions of future mountain population distributions under scenarios of future climatic change.
