Slight glacier mass loss in the Karakoram region during the 1970s to 2000 revealed by KH-9 images and SRTM DEM

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 ...

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 ...

Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Mass Changes in Himalayan Glaciated Region from EOF Analyses of GRACE Data

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 ...

Inter-Decadal Dynamics of Glacier Area and Supra-glacial Lakes Over Hispar Glacier, Western Karakoram

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.

Quantified Assessment of the Meteorological Variables Facilitating the Establishment of the Karakoram Anomaly

, 2016
Lofty Hindukush, Karakoram and Himalayan (HKH) mountain ranges centered in the Northern Pakistan are host to some of the world’s largest glaciers outside the Polar Regions and are a source of water for drinking and irrigation to the millions of people ...

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.

Thermochronology of the modern Indus River bedload: New insight into the controls on the marine stratigraphic record [PDF]

, 2004
The Indus River is the only major drainage in the western Himalaya and delivers a long geological record of continental erosion to the Arabian Sea, which may be deciphered and used to reconstruct orogenic growth if the modern bedload can be related to ...

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 ...

Positive mass budgets of high-altitude and debris-covered fragmented tributary glaciers in Gangotri Glacier System, Himalaya

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
