Glacier shrinkage across High Mountain Asia

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
An assessment of glacier shrinkage (reduction of area) for all of High Mountain Asia requires a complete compilation of measured rates of change and also a methodology for objective comparison of rates.

Exploring the Links Between Variations in Snow Cover Area and Climatic Variables Across the Upper Indus Basin Under a Changing Climate

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 2, February 2026.
Google Earth Engine was utilised to assess snow cover area (SCA) across eight Upper Indus Basin (UIB) subbasins, employing ARIMA for prediction and comparing MODIS datasets using Dunn's test. Spatiotemporal changes were analysed using MK, Sen's slope, and other statistical tests.

New Advances in the Deep Structure of the Pamir Plateau: A Review

Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 1527-1543, December 2025.
Abstract The Pamir Plateau is situated at the northwestern edge of the India–Eurasia Plate collision zone, making it a key region for studying continental collision and plateau uplift. The deep structure and dynamic processes of this region have long been of great scientific interest.

Glacier mass balance and its response to 2022 heatwaves for Kangxiwa Glacier in the eastern Pamir: insights from time-lapse photography [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Contrary to the widespread glacier mass loss in High Mountain Asia under global warming, glaciers in the Pamir-Karakoram region have exhibited anomalously less negative mass balances and even slight mass gains in recent decades.

A Multi‐Century Meteo‐Hydrological Analysis in the Italian Alps: Daily Streamflow (1862–2022) at Different Time Scales

Hydrological Processes, Volume 39, Issue 11, November 2025.
The second longest time series (1862–2022) for Italy and possibly the Mediterranean area of daily hydrometric levels and streamflow data was reconstructed for the Adige river basin, in the Italian Alps (9793 km2). Annual precipitation is stationary and annual streamflow is significantly declining at a rate of −1.0 mm year−1 corresponding to −1.3 ...

Investigating Snow Cover and Hydrometeorological Trends in Contrasting Hydrological Regimes of the Upper Indus Basin

Atmosphere, 2018
The Upper Indus basin (UIB) is characterized by contrasting hydrometeorological behaviors; therefore, it has become pertinent to understand hydrometeorological trends at the sub-watershed level.

Test and Application of HCLDAS‐Based Temperature Data at Different Altitudes in the Hotan Area in Summer

Meteorological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
This study analyzes summer temperature variations across 12 altitude levels in Hotan using high‐resolution HCLDAS data, revealing altitude‐dependent trends, significant diurnal fluctuations, and critical thresholds (≤ 0°C and ≥ 35°C) for glacier melt and heatwaves, providing insights for climate monitoring and disaster warnings in arid, high‐altitude ...

A first attempt to model region-wide glacier surface mass balances in the Karakoram: findings and future challenges [PDF]

, 2017
In contrast to the central and eastern part of High Mountain Asia (HMA), no extensive glacier mass loss has been observed in the Karakoram during previous decades.

The assessment of the recent mass balance anomaly of Adishi glacier in the Central Caucasus by satellite altimetry

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 13, October 2025.
Satellite altimetry shows a mass balance anomaly on Adishi Glacier, with localized thickening contrasting regional losses in the Central Caucasus. Favourable glacier hypsometry and the orographic effect of snow accumulation under the prevailing wind conditions emerge as key drivers, underlining the role of local processes in shaping glacier‐climate ...
