Growing Glacial Lake Outburst Flood Risks in Ghizer District: A Karakoram Anomaly Region
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingDue to climate change, the Northwesterner Gilgit Baltistan's, Ghizer district is highly susceptible to glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).

A dubiety-determining based model for database cumulated anomaly intrusion [PDF]
, 2007 The concept of Cumulated Anomaly (CA), which describes a new type of database anomalies, is addressed. A typical CA intrusion is that when a user who is authorized to modify data records under certain constraints deliberately hides his/her intentions ...

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 ...

A dataset of glacier height changes in Hunza Basin during 2000–2020
中国科学数据, 2023 Under the influence of climate warming, glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA) have undergone significant recession in recent decades. However, stable or even positive glacier mass budgets have been found in the Karakoram Mountains in the past decades ...

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.

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.

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
