Continuous Karakoram Glacier Anomaly and Its Response to Climate Change During 2000–2021
Remote Sensing, 2022 Glacier mass balance is one of the most direct indicators reflecting corresponding climate change. In the context of global warming, most glaciers are melting and receding, which can have significant impacts on ecology, climate, and water resources. Thus,

Manifestations and Mechanisms of the Karakoram Glacier Anomaly [PDF]
Nature Geoscience, 2020 <p>Due to ongoing climatic change, glacier mass loss and retreat are observed all over the globe. The changes are beyond historic precedence, affect ice masses from the polar ice sheets to the highest mountain glaciers, and cause concerns ranging from rising sea levels to water scarcity.

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.

Has the Karakoram Anomaly Persisted Over the Past Two Decades?
GIScience and Remote SensingThe “Karakoram Anomaly” refers to a unique phenomenon wherein glaciers in the Karakoram region have exhibited remarkable stability or slight mass gains, contrasting the global trend of extensive glacier retreat.

Susceptibility Assessment of Glacier-Related Debris Flow in the Gaizi River Basin Using Different Hybrid Anomaly Detection Models [PDF]
SensorsThe Gaizi River Basin, an alpine region in China crossed by the Karakoram Highway, is highly prone to glacier-related debris flows (GDF). Accurate debris flow susceptibility assessment in this high-altitude area remains challenging due to complex terrain,

A dataset of glacier height changes in Hunza Basin during 2000–2020
中国科学数据, 2023 Under the influence of climate warming, glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA) have undergone significant recession in recent decades. However, stable or even positive glacier mass budgets have been found in the Karakoram Mountains in the past decades ...
