The epicenter was located in the Namche Barwa region of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis. Here, we have derived coseismic deformation from Global Positioning System (GPS) data and ascending Sentinel-1A Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. Based on a joint inversion of the two datasets, we obtained the coseismic slip distribution along a curved, northeast trending, and high-angle (dip angle of 75◦) thrust fault. Our results show that the seismic moment release was 7.49 1018 N m, corresponding to a moment magnitude of Mw 6.55. The maximum slip was 1.03 m × · and the main rupture zone extended to a 12 km depth. The earthquake may have been related to the release of strain accumulated during the subduction of the Indian plate beneath the Eurasian continent.

    An Annotated List of Birds Wintering in the Lhasa River Watershed and Yamzho Yumco, Tibet Autonomous Region, China

    FORKTAIL 23 (2007): 1–11 An annotated list of birds wintering in the Lhasa river watershed and Yamzho Yumco, Tibet Autonomous Region, China AARON LANG, MARY ANNE BISHOP and ALEC LE SUEUR The occurrence and distribution of birds in the Lhasa river watershed of Tibet Autonomous Region, People’s Republic of China, is not well documented. Here we report on recent observations of birds made during the winter season (November–March). Combining these observations with earlier records shows that at least 115 species occur in the Lhasa river watershed and adjacent Yamzho Yumco lake during the winter. Of these, at least 88 species appear to occur regularly and 29 species are represented by only a few observations. We recorded 18 species not previously noted during winter. Three species noted from Lhasa in the 1940s, Northern Shoveler Anas clypeata, Solitary Snipe Gallinago solitaria and Red-rumped Swallow Hirundo daurica, were not observed during our study. Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis (Vulnerable) and Bar-headed Goose Anser indicus are among the more visible species in the agricultural habitats which dominate the valley floors. There is still a great deal to be learned about the winter birds of the region, as evidenced by the number of apparently new records from the last 15 years. INTRODUCTION limited from the late 1940s to the early 1980s.

    Comments to the Author This Paper Quantifies Streamflow and Groundwater Changes Due to Climate Change in an Alpine Region with a Large Glacier

    Response to D. Van Hoy (SC1) Comments to the Author This paper quantifies streamflow and groundwater changes due to climate change in an alpine region with a large glacier. This type of work is very important and is likely applicable to other mountainous areas (e.g. the Rocky Mountains in North America and the Andes in South America). Overall the methods of this paper are relatively easy to understand. There is a good use of appropriate references throughout the paper including relevant papers at nearby study sites on the Tibetan Plateau. I think the paper is worthy of being published, however there are some issues with grammar and sections where the paper could stand to be reworded to increase readability and be more concise. The paper is also lacking in regards to the site description, explanation of methods, and analysis. For more details, see the comments and questions below. Response: Many thanks for the positive reviews that we received with respect to our paper hess-2018-541 entitled “Quantifying streamflow and active groundwater storage in response to climate warming in an alpine catchment on the Tibetan Plateau”. Those comments are all valuable and very helpful for revising and improving our paper. We have addressed the reviewers’ concerns and suggestions carefully. The major revisions include the clarification of the purpose of the paper, the validity of recession flow analysis, the improvement of the writing, and the thoroughly revision of the Figures. The concept of the active groundwater storage were defined. We descripted the vegetation (Figure S2) and the rock/soil types throughout the catchment (Figure S5).

We evaluate the nature and extent of human impact on vegetation dynamics by the comparison of two areas: the relative highly populated Lhasa area and a nearby less populated Lhari County. Our results indicate that human impact has mainly decreased vegetation greenness within 20 km of the urban area and major constructions during 1999–2013. However, the impact of human activities in a relatively large area is still minor and does not reverse the major trends of vegetation dynamics caused by the warming temperature in recent decades. It seems that the impact of anthropogenic factors on the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) trend is more apparent in the Lhasa area than in Lhari County. The major anthropogenic driving factor for vegetation browning in the Lhasa area is livestock number, while the factors, including the number of rural laborers and artificial forest areas, are positively correlated with the annual NDVI increase.
