Xueying Li and collaborators, including Dr. Mann, quantifed terrestrial water storage (TWS) for the Tibetan Plateau and project that there will be declines under mid-range carbon emissions scenario by the mid-twenty-first century. Results indicate projected excess water loss for the Amu Darya and Indus basins which present a critical water resource threat and highlights these areas as being at risk from climate change.
