The geochemical and temporal evolution of the continental lithosphere and its relationship to continental-scale faulting: the Karakoram Fault, eastern Karakoram, NW Himalayas [PDF]

, 2013
[1] New laser ablation multicollector–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry and isotope dilution-thermal ionization mass spectrometry U-Pb ages, coupled with Sm-Nd isotope and geochemical analysis, define the temporal and geochemical evolution of ...

On the Limits of Alpine Plants: A Systematic Review of the Factors Behind Species' Elevational Range Limits

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This systematic review of 107 studies on the factors behind the elevational range limits of alpine vascular plants shows a persistent emphasis on upper limits and abiotic factors, especially temperature, while work at lower limits is more evenly distributed across water availability, plant–plant interactions, and selection/local adaptation.

Glacier surges in the Karakoram Himalaya (Central Asia)

, 1969
The Karakoram and Alaska–Yukon region between them account for perhaps 90% of the known surging glacier events. While modern research and information is available for the latter region, the Karakoram, though often referred to, remains virtually unknown ...

Floristic Diversity and Indicator Species Analysis Along Altitudinal Gradients of the Upper Indus Basin, Northern Pakistan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Altitudinal gradients substantially influence floristic diversity and indicator species. Three vegetation communities were identified, each shaped by specific environmental variables. Mantel test shows that altitude, Ca, K, Na are key drivers of species diversity and association.

A first attempt to model region-wide glacier surface mass balances in the Karakoram: findings and future challenges [PDF]

, 2017
In contrast to the central and eastern part of High Mountain Asia (HMA), no extensive glacier mass loss has been observed in the Karakoram during previous decades.

Growth and Chemical Evolution of the Kohistan Arc Crust, Northern Pakistan, Western Himalayas

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Fossil arcs which expose the middle‐lower crust have the potential to shed light on active arc processes because magmatic rocks from the entire history of the arc can be examined. We present new geochemical data from the middle crust of the Kohistan Arc and use existing geochemical and geochronological literature data from this arc to ...

Radiative Forcing of Western Tibetan Vortex on Surface Air Temperature in Spring

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract As the dominant atmospheric circulation pattern over the western Tibetan Plateau (TP), the Western Tibetan Vortex (WTV) exerts substantial control on springtime 2 m surface air temperature (T2m). However, its underlying radiative processes remain unclear.

The Interpretation of Karakoram Anomaly by High Karakoram Ice Core Record

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres
AbstractGlacier mass in the Karakoram region has increased since the mid‐1990s in contrast to Himalayan glaciers. The scarcity and brevity of observations, including in situ observations and weather station data, limit our understanding of the Karakoram anomaly.
