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 …

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

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 …

High-resolution monitoring of Himalayan glacier dynamics using unmanned aerial vehicles
Himalayan glacier tongues are commonly debris covered and they are an important source
of melt water. However, they remain relatively unstudied because of the inaccessibility of the …

Evaluation of existing image matching methods for deriving glacier surface displacements globally from optical satellite imagery
T Heid, A Kääb - Remote Sensing of Environment, 2012 - Elsevier
Automatic matching of images from two different times is a method that is often used to
derive glacier surface velocity. Nearly global repeat coverage of the Earth's surface by …
