A Review of Karakoram Glacier Anomalies in High Mountains Asia

Water (Switzerland), 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 ...

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.

The Karakoram Anomaly: Validation Through Remote Sensing Data, Prospects and Implications

Water (Switzerland), 2022
Millions of people rely on river water originating from snow- and ice-melt from basins in the Hindukush-Karakoram-Himalayas (HKH). One such basin is the Upper Indus Basin (UIB), where the snow- and ice-melt contribution can be more than 80%. Being the origin of some of the world’s largest alpine glaciers, this basin could be highly susceptible to ...

Glacier Area Stability in the Central Karakoram National Park (Pakistan) in 2001–2010 [PDF]

Progress in Physical Geography, 2016
The Karakoram Range is one of the most glacierized mountain regions in the world, and glaciers there are an important water resource for Pakistan. The attention paid to this area is increasing because its glaciers remained rather stable in the early twenty-first century, in contrast to the general glacier retreat observed worldwide

A Hydrometeorological Perspective on the Karakoram Anomaly Using Unique Valley-Based Synoptic Weather Observations [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2017
AbstractGlaciers in the eastern Hindukush, western Karakoram, and northwestern Himalayan mountain ranges of Northern Pakistan are not responding to global warming in the same manner as their counterparts elsewhere. Their retreat rates are less than the global average, and some are either stable or growing.

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.

The Interpretation of Karakoram Anomaly by High Karakoram Ice Core Record

Journal of Geophysical Research D: 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.

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.
