A revision of the genus Ascelosodis L. Redtenbacher, 1868 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Pimeliinae: Edrotini) of Pamir [PDF]
Кавказский энтомологический бюллетень, 2018 A taxonomic review of the genus Ascelosodis L. Redtenbacher, 1868 (Tenebrionidae: Pimeliinae: Edrotini) of Pamir is given. The tribal placement of the genus is corrected (not Tentyriini as in Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera 2008 and not Erymetopini ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The Cenozoic convergence between India and Asia has created Earth’s thickest crust in the Pamir–Tibetan plateau, leading to broadly distributed deformation and extensive crustal shortening; however, the crustal deformation of the high plateau is still ...

Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Under global warming, many glaciers worldwide are receding. However, recent studies have suggested the extension of the Karakoram Anomaly, a region of anomalous glacier mass gain, into the western Kunlun and eastern Pamir mountains.

Region-wide glacier mass balances over the Pamir-Karakoram-Himalaya during 1999–2011 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 The recent evolution of Pamir-Karakoram-Himalaya (PKH) glaciers, widely acknowledged as valuable high-altitude as well as mid-latitude climatic indicators, remains poorly known.

On the benefits of the Eastern Pamirs for sub-mm astronomy [PDF]
Millimeter, Submillimeter, and Far-Infrared Detectors and Instrumentation for Astronomy X, 2020 Thanks to the first mm studies on the territory of the former USSR in the early 1960s and succeeding sub-mm measurements in the 1970s - early 1980s at wavelengths up to 0.34 mm, a completely unique astroclimate was revealed in the Eastern Pamirs, only slightly inferior to the available conditions on the Chajnantor plateau in Chile and Mauna Kea. Due to

Glacier mass balance and its response to 2022 heatwaves for Kangxiwa Glacier in the eastern Pamir: insights from time-lapse photography [PDF]
The CryosphereContrary to the widespread glacier mass loss in High Mountain Asia under global warming, glaciers in the Pamir-Karakoram region have exhibited anomalously less negative mass balances and even slight mass gains in recent decades.

Brief Communication: Contending estimates of 2003–2008 glacier mass balance over the Pamir–Karakoram–Himalaya [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 We present glacier thickness changes over the entire Pamir–Karakoram–Himalaya arc based on ICESat satellite altimetry data for 2003–2008. We highlight the importance of C-band penetration for studies based on the SRTM elevation model.
