Decoding the Karakoram Anomaly

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
The 'Karakoram Anomaly' is termed as the stability or anomalous growth of glaciers in the central Karakoram, in contrast to the retreat of glaciers in other nearby mountainous ranges of Himalayas and other mountainous ranges of the world. It remains an intriguing scientific question to the researchers.

Transition of the Karakoram anomaly under emerging hydroclimatic trends

Science of the Total Environment
The presence of a Karakoram Anomaly (KA) where, in contrast to most global glaciers, regional glaciers are reported to have either stable or quasi-positive mass balance commonly has been challenged by recent glacier mass balance studies in response to decadal variability in temperature and precipitation.

Western Disturbances and their role in sustaining the “Karakoram Anomaly”

2023
Glaciers across the globe have largely been retreating under the impacts of global warming. However, few glaciers of the Karakoram (KR) region of Karakoram-Himalayas (KH) have displayed anomalous stability or even surge, perplexing glaciologists all around the globe.

Deciphering the changes associated with Western Disturbances impacting “Karakoram Anomaly”

2022
<p>In contrast to the general retreat of glaciers across the globe, the glaciers of the Karakoram (KR) region of Karakoram-Himalayas (KH) have displayed an anomalous divergent response, with some glaciers remaining either stable or surging.

Exploring the causes of glacier velocity anomalies in High Mountain Asia: Analysis from the Karakoram, Spiti Lahaul and Eastern Himalaya

2021
<p>Glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA) have been experiencing enhanced mass loss and velocity slowdown since the late 1990s, coincident with rising global and regional temperatures. In each HMA region with distinct climatic characteristics, the dynamical responses of glaciers vary substantially; yet these intra-regional variations are ...

Gravity anomalies and the flexure of the lithosphere in the Karakoram, Pakistan

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1995
The negative correlation between gravity anomalies in mountain regions and the topographic height implies a mass deficency beneath the range and adjacent regions. Classical compensation schemes in which roots of constant density form at a depth proportional to the topographic height (Airy scheme) or individual columns of laterally variable density ...

Karakoram Anomaly and its connection with the Western Disturbances

The global retreat of glaciers is a widely recognized indicator of climate change. However, the Karakoram region of the Himalayas defies this trend, exhibiting a unique phenomenon termed the “Karakoram Anomaly,” characterized by glacier stability or surges.

Local contrasting weather dynamics as a potential control of the Karakoram anomaly

2018
Consistent with the global trend, glaciers in the central Himalayas are retreating due to rising temperatures. However, glaciers in the Karakoram region appear stable or even gaining ice mass. This phenomenon is commonly called the Karakoram anomaly and is not fully understood yet.
