High Mountain Asia

Personal work in progress. Do not take as is, there has been no peer validation and there may be errors.

Following the release of my first scientific paper on climate change in the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau (using the latest generation of CMIP6 models), here is a general public summary published by my laboratory: https://hma.

Climate change over High Mountain Asia is investigated with CMIP6 climate models. A general cold bias is found in this area, often related to a snow cover overestimation in the models. Ensemble experiments generally encompass the past observed trends, suggesting that even biased models can reproduce the trends. Depending on the future scenario, a warming from 1.9 to 6.5 °C, associated with a snow cover decrease and precipitation increase, is expected at the end of the 21st century.
