A Review of Karakoram Glacier Anomalies in High Mountains Asia
Water, 2023 Influenced by global warming, glaciers in High Mountains Asia (HMA) generally show a trend of retreat and thinning, but in Karakoram, Pamir, and West Kunlun there is a trend of glacier stabilization or even a weak advance. In this study, using a bibliometric analysis, we systematically sorted the area, mass balance, and elevation changes of the ...

Increase in occurrence of large glacier-related landslides in the high mountains of Asia [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractGlobally, a large number of glaciers are retreating due to global warming. Along with climate change, glacial melting has been identified as one of the main triggers of landslide activity in high mountain areas. Evaluations of the triggered mechanism alone do not provide comprehensive insight into the overall impact of glacier accumulation and ...

Multi-decadal monsoon characteristics and glacier response in High Mountain Asia
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Glacier health across High Mountain Asia (HMA) is highly heterogeneous and strongly governed by regional climate, which is variably influenced by monsoon dynamics and the westerlies.

Avalanche character and fatalities in the high mountains of Asia [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Abstract.With the exception of northern India, there are few, if any, consistent data records relating to avalanche activity in the high mountains of Asia. However, records do exist of avalanche fatalities in the region, contained in mountaineering expedition reports. In this paper, I review and analyze statistics of avalanche fatalities (both snow and

Climate regime of Asian glaciers revealed by GAMDAM glacier inventory [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Among meteorological elements, precipitation has a large spatial variability and less observation, particularly in high-mountain Asia, although precipitation in mountains is an important parameter for hydrological circulation.

Remote Detection of Surge-Related Glacier Terminus Change across High Mountain Asia
Remote Sensing, 2021 High Mountain Asia (HMA) hosts the largest glacier concentration outside of polar regions. It is also distinct glaciologically as it forms one of two major surge clusters globally, and many glaciers there contradict the globally observed glacier ...

Supraglacial debris thickness and supply rate in High-Mountain Asia
Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 Supraglacial debris in High-Mountain Asia is extensively thin and its supply rate from local topography increases with the temperature and slope of debris-supply slopes, according to analyses of remote sensing data from over 4600 glaciers.
