Glacial Grafting and the Karakoram Anomaly: Bridging Indigenous Knowledge and Hydrologic Science for Meltwater Preservation

While glaciers worldwide are retreating due to anthropogenic climate change, the Hunza region of Northern Pakistan presents a striking exception: the Karakoram Anomaly, where glaciers have remained stable or are even advancing (Farinotti et al., 2020). At the same time, communities in the region have practiced glacial grafting for centuries.

Annual and Seasonal Variations in Glacier Velocity, and Surging Glaciers in the West Kunlun Mountain

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Monitoring glacier velocity is crucial for revealing glacier dynamics and clarifying the responses of glaciers to climate change. The West Kunlun mountain (WKM) is at the center of the Karakoram Anomaly; however, insufficient systematic studies have been

Regional differences in glacier changes and responses to climate warming in Asia

Research in Cold and Arid Regions
Under global warming, Asian glaciers have experienced accelerated retreats and increased mass loss. Utilizing data from the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS), this study selected 16 representative glaciers across Asia to analyse the temporal and ...

Recent (1980-2009) evidence of climate change in the upper Karakoram, Pakistan

, 2013
We investigate here recent (1980-2009) climate variability in the upper Karakoram, Northern Pakistan, of particular interest given the peculiar glacier behavior during the last two decades.
