Does the Recent Revival of Western Disturbances Govern the Karakoram Anomaly? [PDF]

Journal of Climate, 2022
Abstract The global retreat in glaciers is considered to be one of the critical indicators of climate change. However, the glaciers of the Karakoram (KR) region of the Karakoram–Himalayas (KH) stand out because of their divergent response, displaying a surge as opposed to glaciers in other regions.

Assessing the Karakoram Anomaly from long-term trends in earth observation and climate data [PDF]

Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment, 2022
In contrast to the general trend of global glacier recession, several studies have reported stable or advancing glaciers in the sub-basins of the Karakoram – the so-called ‘Karakoram Anomaly’. Snow and glacier ice melt are important components of the hydrological system and represent a major water supply for the region.

Contrasting Centennial‐Scale Climate Variability in High Mountain Asia Revealed by a Tree‐Ring Oxygen Isotope Record From Lahaul‐Spiti

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Glacier response analyses in High Mountain Asia have revealed that the glaciers from the Karakoram region were in balance or thickening while most from the other regions were thinning, the “Karakoram anomaly.” It is, however, not clear whether this ...

Brief Communication: Contending estimates of 2003–2008 glacier mass balance over the Pamir–Karakoram–Himalaya [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2015
We present glacier thickness changes over the entire Pamir–Karakoram–Himalaya arc based on ICESat satellite altimetry data for 2003–2008. We highlight the importance of C-band penetration for studies based on the SRTM elevation model.

Spatial-Temporal Characteristics of Glacier Velocity in the Central Karakoram Revealed with 1999–2003 Landsat-7 ETM+ Pan Images

Remote Sensing, 2017
The situation of stable and slightly advancing glaciers in the Karakoram is called the “Karakoram anomaly”. Glacier surface velocity is one of the key parameters of glacier dynamics and mass balance, however, the response of glacier motion to this ...

2001–2010 glacier changes in the Central Karakoram National Park: a contribution to evaluate the magnitude and rate of the "Karakoram anomaly"

, 2013
Abstract. Karakoram is one of the most glacierized region worldwide, and glaciers therein are the main water resource of Pakistan. The attention paid to this area is increasing, because the evolution of its glaciers recently depicted a situation of general stability, known as "Karakoram Anomaly", in contrast to glacier retreat worldwide.

Karakoram geodetic glacier mass balances between 2008 and 2016: persistence of the anomaly and influence of a large rock avalanche on Siachen Glacier [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 2019
Karakoram glaciers experienced balanced or slightly positive mass budgets since at least the 1970s. Here, we provide an update on the state of balance of Central and Eastern Karakoram glaciers (12 000 km2) between 2008 and 2016 by differencing DEMs ...

Post-20^th century near-steady state of Batura Glacier: observational evidence of Karakoram Anomaly. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
AbstractStable or marginal mass loss dominating in Karakoram has been reported widely through satellite and ground investigations. This work aimed to verify the variation in glacier mass by collecting ground-based data. By tracking profiles from the first survey by China–Pakistan Batura Glacier Investigation Group in 1974–1975, we revisited Batura ...
