Abstract Glacier response to climate change results in rapid glacier water resource loss. Positive glacial regulatory processes (GRPs) are processes that buffer glacier water resource losses. Nevertheless, these processes are not systematically quantified, which may lead to uncertainty in glacier water resource sustainability assessments.

Abstract High Mountain Asia (HMA) has experienced rapid warming and increased climate extremes, yet limited instrumental records constrain understanding of whether recent changes exceed long-term natural variability. Paleoclimate data assimilation offers opportunities to integrate sparse proxy observations with climate model priors, generating spatiotemporally complete reconstructions.

Abstract Chronic, low-grade inflammation has been associated with motivational deficits in patients with major depression (MD). In turn, impaired motivation has been linked to poor quality of life across psychiatric disorders. We thus determined effects of the anti-inflammatory drug infliximab–a potent tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist–on behavioral and neural measures of motivation in 42 medically stable, unmedicated MD patients with a C-reactive protein >3 mg/L.
