Glacier-Related Hazards Along the International Karakoram Highway: Status and Future Perspectives
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 The China–Pakistan international Karakoram Highway passes through the core area of the “Karakoram Anomaly,” whose glaciers have maintained or increased their mass during a period when most glaciers worldwide have receded.

Existence of Glacier Anomaly in the Interior and Northern Tibetan Plateau between 2000 and 2012
Remote Sensing, 2022 There was sufficient evidence to indicate a nearly balanced glacier mass change (termed glacier anomaly) for Karakoram Mts. since the 1970s, in contrast to worldwide glacier mass losses caused by climate warming.

EVOLUTION OF KARAKORAM SEQUENCE, HUNZA VALLEY NE PAKISTAN: EVIDENCES FROM FIELD MAPPING AND MICRO-ANALYTICAL WORK: Array [PDF]
, 2020 The Karakoram metamorphic Complex (KMC) in the southern Karakoram block is one of the best examples of Barrovian type metamorphism that comprises numerous exhumed metapelite units where a series of low to high grade (green schist to sillimanite facie ...

Surging Dynamics of Glaciers in the Hunza Valley under an Equilibrium Mass State since 1990
Remote Sensing, 2020 Previous studies have shown that glacier changes were heterogeneous in the western Karakoram, with the coexistence of retreating, advancing, and surging glaciers. However, it remains unclear that the mechanisms driving these changes. Based on the Shuttle

Journal of Glaciology, 2017 An anomalously slight glacier mass gain during 2000 to the 2010s has recently been reported in the Karakoram region. However, to date, no investigations of the region-wide glacier mass balance in the Karakoram prior to 2000 have been reported, leaving a ...

Remote Sensing, 2021 The nature of hydrological seasonality over the Himalayan Glaciated Region (HGR) is complex due to varied precipitation patterns. The present study attempts to exemplify the spatio-temporal variation of hydrological mass over the HGR using time-variable ...

International Journal of Economic and Environment Geology, 2021 Glaciers of the central Karakorum region are the primary source of fresh water and lifeline for downstream inhabitants but changing climatic conditions put serious impacts on glaciers which cause rapid ablation and the creation of glacial lakes.

Glacier surges in the north-west West Kunlun Shan inferred from 1972 to 2017 Landsat imagery
Journal of Glaciology, 2019 The West Kunlun Shan lie close to, or are perhaps part of, two significant glaciological phenomena – the High Mountain Asia surge ‘supercluster’ and the Karakoram Anomaly.

Prevailing climatic trends and runoff response from Hindukush–Karakoram–Himalaya, upper Indus Basin [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2017 Largely depending on the meltwater from the Hindukush–Karakoram–Himalaya, withdrawals from the upper Indus Basin (UIB) contribute half of the surface water availability in Pakistan, indispensable for agricultural production systems, industrial and ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Glacier-wide mass balances (MBs) of the Gangotri, Chaturangi, Raktavaran, Meru, and Gangotri Glacier System are reconstructed with a temperature-index (T-index) model using bias-corrected ERA5 data at a daily temporal resolution over 1979–2020. The model
