Glaciohydrology of the himalaya-karakoram
BACKGROUND The Himalayan-Karakoram (HK) region in south Asia is one of the most
heavily glacierized and vulnerable mountainous regions on Earth. The Indus, Ganges, and …

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 …

A systematic, regional assessment of high mountain Asia glacier mass balance
High-mountain Asia (HMA) constitutes the largest glacierized region outside of the Earth's
polar regions. Although available observations are limited, long-term records indicate …

Status and change of the cryosphere in the extended Hindu Kush Himalaya region
The cryosphere is defined by the presence of frozen water in its many forms: glaciers, ice
caps, ice sheets, snow, permafrost, and river and lake ice. In the extended Hindu Kush …

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 …

The state and fate of Himalayan glaciers
Himalayan glaciers are a focus of public and scientific debate. Prevailing uncertainties are of
major concern because some projections of their future have serious implications for water …

Region-wide glacier mass balances over the Pamir-Karakoram-Himalaya during 1999–2011
The recent evolution of Pamir-Karakoram-Himalaya (PKH) glaciers, widely acknowledged
as valuable high-altitude as well as mid-latitude climatic indicators, remains poorly known …

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

Contrasting patterns of early twenty-first-century glacier mass change in the Himalayas
Glaciers are among the best indicators of terrestrial climate variability, contribute importantly
to water resources in many mountainous regions, and are a major contributor to global sea …

Climate change impacts on the upper Indus hydrology: sources, shifts and extremes
The Indus basin heavily depends on its upstream mountainous part for the downstream
supply of water while downstream demands are high. Since downstream demands will likely …
