The temporal and spatial characteristics of trends in extreme indices over Korea between 1971 and 2100 are investigated using daily minimum ( T min) and maximum ( T max) temperature and precipitation data from a regional climate projection at 20 km grid spacing. Five temperature–based indices and five precipitation–based indices are selected to comprehensively consider the frequency, intensity, and persistence of extreme event...

Glacial geological evidence from throughout the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen is examined to determine the timing and extent of late Quaternary glaciation in this region and its relation to similar changes on a global scale. The evidence summarised here supports the existence of expanded ice caps and extensive valley glacier systems throughout the region during the late Quaternary. However, it cannot yet be determined whether the t...
