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.

Response of Karakoram-Himalayan Glaciers to Climate Variability and Climatic Change: A Regional Climate Model Assessment [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2015
The Karakoram and the Himalayan mountain range accommodate a large number of glaciers and are the major source of several perennial rivers downstream. To interactively describe to response of glaciers to climate change, a glacier parameterization scheme ...

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.
