Spatial variation in exhumation rates across Ladakh and the Karakoram: New apatite fission track data from the Eastern Karakoram, NW India [PDF]

open access: yesTectonics, 2016
Characterization of low-temperature cooling histories and associated exhumation rates is critical for deciphering the recent evolution of orogenic regions. However, these may vary significantly over relatively short distances within orogens.

Rock deformation processes in the Karakoram fault zone, Eastern Karakoram, Ladakh, NW India

open access: yesJournal of Structural Geology, 2007
The Karakoram fault shows a full range of fault rocks from ductile (deformation by intracrystalline plasticity) mylonites to low temperature brittle fault rocks along the trace of the fault in the Eastern Karakoram, Ladakh, NW India.

The Karakoram Predicament

2020
<p>The anomalous behaviour of Karakoram Glaciers (Hewitt, 2005) in the backdrop of a warming planet has been a decade long debate baffling climatologists worldwide. While a lot of effort has been given to understand this behaviour, very little has been explored with respect to the factors that favour glaciation rates.

Emergency on the Karakoram Massif

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1979
Sept 15, 1978. Urdukas Camp, Baltoro Glacier, K2. Jim is dying-each night he gets worse-more painful coughing (pleurisy) and increasing hemoptysis, so that I am afraid to anticoagulate him-respirations rising alarmingly and he can travel only a few paces uphill without going into paroxysms of bloody coughing.

The Dreaming Spires of the Karakoram

2013
Travelling by bus across the northern areas of Pakistan on my way back to England after our first climbing expedition to Kulu in 1978, I remember it being hot, dry, and dusty down in the plains of the Peshawar basin, but the distant sight of glinting snowfields way to the north of Swat and Gilgit heralded the mightiest mountain range of them all.

Catastrophic Landslide Deposits in the Karakoram Himalaya

Science, 1988
In July 1986, three catastrophic landslides deposited about 20 × 106cubic meters of debris on Bualtar Glacier in the Karakoram Himalaya. A sudden acceleration and superficial breakup of the glacier provided an opportunity to examine the fresh deposits in depth.
