Pleistocene Lake Bonneville of western Utah contains a variety of spits associated with shorelines and other features that formed between 21,000 and 12,000 C yr BP. Field studies in the low-lying mountain ranges of the central portion of Lake Bonneville identified 17 spits of various types. The spits are connected to small mountain ranges and islands, vary in size from 0.02 to 0.5 km, and are c...

During my travels to numerous countries over 40 years, I have seen many picturesque mountain villages with elegant and well-preserved houses perched on carefully selected sites on the mountains, and others located by a river or lake at the foot of a mountain. They appear remarkably harmonious with the natural scenery. Fruit trees or tea trees and crops such as rice, wheat, and corn are planted ...

Understanding of exchange processes over Tibetan Plateau including hydrological cycle is becoming increasingly important since their influence on the formation of the Asian monsoon system is known. Recent variation of levels of Tibetan lakes and retreat of mountain glaciers has to be studied in detail with respect to global change. Tibetan Plateau is source area for main Asian rivers that are o...

In High Mountain Asia (HMA), rising temperatures and retreating glaciers are leading to the formation of new glacial lakes expansion existing ones. The sudden release water from such can lead devastating lake outburst floods (GLOF) threatening people infrastructure for many kilometers downstream. Therefore, information on future lakes, e.g., their location, area volume as well timing developmen...

STUDY OBJECTIVE Acute mountain sickness occurs in more than 25% of the tens of millions of people who travel to high altitude each year. Previous studies on chemoprophylaxis with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are limited in their ability to determine efficacy. We compare ibuprofen versus placebo in the prevention of acute mountain sickness incidence and severity on ascent from low to hig...
