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.

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

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.

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.

Susceptibility Assessment of Glacier-Related Debris Flow in the Gaizi River Basin Using Different Hybrid Anomaly Detection Models [PDF]

Sensors
The 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,

The Karakoram Anomaly? Glacier Expansion and the ‘Elevation Effect,’ Karakoram Himalaya

Mountain Research and Development, 2005
Abstract In the late 1990s widespread evidence of glacier expansion was found in the central Karakoram, in contrast to a worldwide decline of mountain glaciers. The expansions were almost exclusively in glacier basins from the highest parts of the range and developed quickly after decades of decline.

Region-wide glacier mass balances over the Pamir-Karakoram-Himalaya during 1999–2011 [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2013
The recent evolution of Pamir-Karakoram-Himalaya (PKH) glaciers, widely acknowledged as valuable high-altitude as well as mid-latitude climatic indicators, remains poorly known.

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.
