ROCK ART AND LIFE IN THE SHAKHTY ROCK-SHELTER (EASTERN PAMIR)

Ural Historical Journal, 2022
The Shakhty rock-shelter is the most famous rock art site in the Eastern Pamir. It was discovered and thoroughly studied by V. A. Ranov in 1958. After a long break, the research was resumed only in 2019. The article highlights the results of the studies, which included field observations on the site and work with the V. A. Ranov’s collection, stored in

Biogeography and diversification patterns in the Irano‐Turanian biodiversity hotspots inferred from a molecular phylogeny of the subendemic Iris subgenus Scorpiris (Iridaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The Irano‐Turanian Floristic Region harbors a rich flora, but our understanding of the development of this diversity is limited by a lack of data on phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic patterns of endemic and more widespread plants. Hypotheses of in situ diversification versus allopatric diversification were tested using Iris subgen. Scorpiris,

Multispectral and Texture Feature Application in Image-Object Analysis of Summer Vegetation in Eastern Tajikistan Pamirs

Remote Sensing, 2016
We tested the Moment Distance Index (MDI) in combination with texture features for the summer vegetation mapping in the eastern Pamir Mountains, Tajikistan using the 2014 Landsat OLI (Operational Land Imager) image. The five major classes identified were

Rainstorm Flood Risk Assessment in the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor Under Different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways of the 21st Century

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Global warming has intensified the atmospheric water cycle, leading to more frequent and severe extreme precipitation events, which are a major driver of rainstorm‐induced flooding. Developing regions such as the China–Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC), spanning highly heterogeneous terrain and climate zones, face elevated risk due to limited ...

A Coupled Glacier‐Hydrology Model and Its Application in Eastern Pamir [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2018
AbstractAn energy‐balance glacier‐melt scheme was coupled with the Variable Infiltration Capacity hydrology model (VIC‐glacier). The coupled model was setup at 30 m × 30 m grids and applied in the Muji basin in eastern Pamir. The model was validated with field measurements of albedo, glacier mass balance, and river runoff.

Phylogenetic Diversity and Community Assembly of Vascular Plants Along Environmental Gradients in the Western Pamir–Alay: A Case Study From Surkhandarya Province, Southern Uzbekistan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Using extensive field, herbarium, and database records, we examine patterns of species richness, phylogenetic diversity, and community assembly along elevational and climatic gradients in an understudied region of Central Asia. ABSTRACT Biodiversity plays a fundamental role in ecosystem structure, function, and stability, but its response to ...

Estimation of Long-Term River Discharge and Its Changes in Ungauged Watersheds in Pamir Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2021
The Pamir Plateau is an extremely important water resource area for over 60 million people in Central Asia. With the increasingly significant response of water resources to climate change, timely hydrological predictions for the future supply are ...

Modelling Reveals an Ice Field on the Arid Northeastern Tibetan Plateau During Marine Isotope Stage 6

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract The long‐standing hypothesis that an ice sheet covered the Tibetan Plateau during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has been refuted. Further research has indicated that the Plateau experienced more extensive glacial expansion during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 6 than during the LGM.

Three Pleistocene glacial advances and a warm episode during MIS-3: Towards a more complete glacial history of the Pamir mountains

Quaternary Science Advances
Determining the spatial and temporal variations of Pleistocene glaciations is key to understanding present-day climate-driven glacier changes. Glacial chronologies of high-mountain Asia, which are mostly based on cosmogenic 10Be exposure dating of ...
