Manifestations and mechanisms of the Karakoram glacier Anomaly
Global-scale glacier shrinkage is one of the most prominent signs of ongoing climatic
change. However, important differences in glacier response exist at the regional scale, and …

Twenty-first century glacier slowdown driven by mass loss in High Mountain Asia
Abstract Glaciers in High Mountain Asia have experienced heterogeneous rates of loss
since the 1970s. Yet, the associated changes in ice flow that lead to mass redistribution and …

Historically unprecedented global glacier decline in the early 21st century
Observations show that glaciers around the world are in retreat and losing mass.
Internationally coordinated for over a century, glacier monitoring activities provide an …

Review of the status and mass changes of Himalayan-Karakoram glaciers
We present a comprehensive review of the status and changes in glacier length (since the
1850s), area and mass (since the 1960s) along the Himalayan-Karakoram (HK) region and …

Increasing glacial lake outburst flood hazard in response to surge glaciers in the Karakoram
Unlike glaciers in other parts of the world, Karakoram glaciers seem to be stable or gaining
in mass in response to global climate change, a phenomenon known as 'the Karakoram …

Brief communication: Glaciers in the Hunza catchment (Karakoram) have been nearly in balance since the 1970s
Previous geodetic estimates of mass changes in the Karakoram revealed balanced budgets
or a possible slight mass gain since∼ 2000. Indications of longer-term stability exist but only …

Surge-type and surge-modified glaciers in the Karakoram
Glaciers in the Karakoram exhibit irregular behavior. Terminus fluctuations of individual
glaciers lack consistency and, unlike other parts of the Himalaya, total ice mass remained …

[HTML][HTML] A regionally resolved inventory of High Mountain Asia surge-type glaciers, derived from a multi-factor remote sensing approach
Abstract Knowledge about the occurrence and characteristics of surge-type glaciers is
crucial due to the impact of surging on glacier melt and glacier-related hazards. One of the …
