Abstract: Let $(M,g)$ be a two dimensional compact Riemannian manifold of genus $g(M)>1$. Let $f$ be a smooth function on $M$ such that ${\displaystyle }$f ge 0, quad f otequiv 0, quad min_M f = 0. ${\displaystyle }$ Let $p_1,ldots,p_n$ be any set of points at which $f(p_i)=0$ and $D^{2}f(p_i)$ is non-singular. We prove that for all sufficiently small $lambda>0$ there exists a family of "bubbling" conformal metrics $g_{l}ambda=e^{u_{l}ambda}g$ such that their Gauss curvature is given by the sign-changing function $K_{g_{l}ambda}=-f+lambd{a}^2$. Moreover, the family $u_{l}ambda$ satisfies ${\displaystyle }$u_lambda(p_j) = -4loglambda -2log left (frac 1{sqrt{2}} log frac 1lambda ight ) +O(1)${\displaystyle }$ and ${\displaystyle }$lambda^2e^{u_lambda} ightharpoonup8pisum_{i=1}^{n}delta_{p_i},quad mbox{as }lambda o 0,${\displaystyle }$ where $delt{a}_p$ designates Dirac mass at the point $p$.
