Interannual modulation of seasonal glacial velocity variations in the Eastern Karakoram detected by ALOS-1/2 data

Journal of Glaciology, 2018
Unlike in most other regions, Karakoram glaciers are either stable or advancing, a phenomenon known as the Karakoram anomaly. Despite studies of glacier surges and the derivation of surface velocity maps, the spatiotemporal variability of glacier ...

Anomalous glaciers response to climate variability in the Karakoram region

ISPRS Open Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing
Karakoram glaciers exhibit steady mass or expansion in the central and western Karakoram, contrasting with the retreat observed in the eastern Karakoram and respond differently to climatic conditions compared to glaciers in the world—a phenomenon termed ...

Temperature reconstruction from glacier length fluctuations in the Himalaya

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
A temperature reconstruction in the glacierized Himalaya over the past centuries using glacial length fluctuation records is challenging due to the abundance of debris-covered glaciers and a scarcity of glacial length fluctuation data.

Warming climate amplifies glacier hazards on the China-Pakistan Highway

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: China–Pakistan Karakoram Highway (KKH) and its surroundings. Study focus: Glaciers along the China–Pakistan International Karakoram Highway (KKH) exhibit relative stable or mass gain, a phenomenon termed “Karakoram Anomaly”, contrasting ...

Provenance Constraints on Early India–Asia Collision: Evidence From the Late Cretaceous–Early Cenozoic Sulaiman–Katawaz Basin Fill

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Integrated detrital zircon U–Pb, Nd–Sr isotopes and thermochronology record western Indian‐margin provenance reorganisation. Late Cretaceous–Palaeocene sediment supply was Indian‐affinity; Asian‐affinity input appeared across the Palaeocene–Eocene transition (~56.5–54.7 Ma), suggesting India–Asia collision was underway, while mixed provenance persisted

Solar Geoengineering Effects on Malaria Transmission Risk in South Asia Under G6sulfur Scenario

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
Comparison of EIR (unit: No of infected bites per person per day) for each considered country in South Asia, under the considered scenarios, averaged over the period 2020–2090. A regression equation is shown for each country (for Bhutan EIRG = 0.1690 × 10−10 EIRS + 0.5968 × 10−12) to illustrate the projected trend.

Post‐Processed CMIP6 Climate Projections for Hydro‐Environmental Risk Assessment in the Middle East and Central Asia

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 5, April 2026.
Estimating water resources is important for regional climate impact analysis and risk estimation. The Middle East and Central Asia have largely reached the limit of sustainably usable water across their river basins and ecosystems. Strategies designed to mitigate environmental risks require a reliable estimation of water availability trends.

Weakening of Western Disturbances in Response to Polar Sea Ice Melt in Climate Model Simulations

Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
We investigate how polar sea ice loss influences western disturbances over South Asia using climate model experiments. The simulations reveal a robust weakening of western disturbance activity in response to Polar Sea ice melt. These results highlight a critical teleconnection pathway through which high‐latitude cryospheric changes may impact South ...

Recent glacier and lake changes in High Mountain Asia and their relation to precipitation changes [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2019
We present an updated, spatially resolved estimate of 2003–2008 glacier surface elevation changes for the entire region of High Mountain Asia (HMA) from ICESat laser altimetry data. The results reveal a diverse pattern that is caused by spatially greatly

Radiative Forcing of Western Tibetan Vortex on Surface Air Temperature in Spring

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract As the dominant atmospheric circulation pattern over the western Tibetan Plateau (TP), the Western Tibetan Vortex (WTV) exerts substantial control on springtime 2 m surface air temperature (T2m). However, its underlying radiative processes remain unclear.
