In this paper, glacier and climate changes in Xinjiang during the past decades were comprehensively discussed based on glacier inventory data, individual monitored glacier observations, recent publications, as well as meteorological records. The results show that glaciers have been in continuous mass loss and dimensional shrinkage since the 1960s, although there are spatial differences between mountains and sub-regions, and the significant temperature increase is the dominant controlling factor of glacier change. The mass loss of monitored glaciers in the Tien Shan has accelerated since the late 1990s, but has a slight slowing after 2010. Remote sensing results also show a more negative mass balance in the 2000s and mass loss slowing in the latest decade (2010s) in most regions.

  • Glaciers in Pakistan | World General Knowledge
    Glaciers in Pakistan | World General Knowledge With 7,253 known glaciers, including 543 in the Chitral Valley, there is more glacial ice in Pakistan than anywhere on Earth outside the polar regions, according to various studies. Those glaciers feed rivers that account for about 75 percent of the stored-water supply in the country of at least 200 million. But as in many other parts of the world, researchers say, Pakistan’s glaciers are receding, especially those at lower elevations, including here in the Hindu Kush mountain range in northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Among the causes cited by scientists: diminished snowfall, higher temperatures, heavier summer rainstorms and rampant deforestation. 1) Baltoro Glacier The glacier at 63km in length is one of the largest land glaciers on Earth. It can be accessed through Gilgit-Baltistan region. The glacier gives rise to the Shigar River. 2) Batura Glacier At 53 km in length, the Batura Glacier is up there with the biggest in the world. It lies in the Batura Valley in the Gojal region of Gilgit Baltistan. 3) Biafo Glacier The Biago Glacier is 67kms long and the third biggest land glacier in the entire world. Mango, Baintha and Namla are campsites set up near the glacier and can be accessed through the Askole Village of Gilgit-Baltistan. 4) Panmah Glacier Located in the Central Karakoram National Park, Gilgit-Baltistan, 5) Rupal Glacier It is the source of the Rupal River and lies in the Great Himalayas. It is South of the Nanga Parbat and North of Laila Peak. Downloaded from www.csstimes.pk | 1 Glaciers in Pakistan | World General Knowledge 6) Sarpo Laggo The glacier flows from Pakistan to China just north of the Baltoro Muztagh Range.

  • Monitoring Ice-Dammed Glacier Lake Outburst Floods in the Karakoram Using Visible-Infrared Satellite Remote Sensing Observations
    Monitoring Ice-dammed Glacier Lake Outburst Floods in the Karakoram Using Visible-Infrared Satellite Remote Sensing Observations by Jeffrey Chan A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in the fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Science In Geography Waterloo, Ontario , Canada 2015 © Jeffrey Chan 2015 i Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Glaciers are an important part of the hydrological cycle because they act as freshwater storage. Glacier ice contains about three-quarters of the world’s freshwater; supplying most of the base flow for rivers originating from high mountains (National Snow & Ice Data Centre, 2015). Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) are one of the common natural hazards in high mountain environments. The lack of a long term and regional GLOF monitoring program in the high mountain, has posed significant challenges in understanding the relationship between glacier mechanics and GLOFs in a changing climate. Remote sensing observations from space offer a promising alternative to reduce the number of in situ field surveys used to monitor glaciers and GLOFs. This thesis contextualizes the physical characteristics and hydrological, climatological, and societal importance of the Karakoram glaciers. Various approaches in GLOF monitoring and modelling are discussed in detail. The resulting objective of this research is to assess the practicality of modeling ice-dammed GLOFs using visible-infrared satellite observations and digital elevation models (DEM) available in the public domain.

    LANDSCAPE EVOLUTION IN THE WESTERN INDIAN HIMALAYA SINCE THE MIOCENE Kumulative Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) in der Wissenschaftsdisziplin Geologie eingereicht an der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät UNIVERSITÄT POTSDAM von PATRICIA EUGSTER M.Sc. in Erdwissenschaften, ETH Zürich im August, 2017 Published online at the Institutional Repository of the University of Potsdam: URN urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-420329 http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-420329 Summary The Himalayan arc stretches >2500 km from east to west at the southern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, representing one of the most important Cenozoic continent-continent collisional orogens, and is some- times called a perfect natural laboratory. Internal deformation processes and climatic factors, which drive weathering, denudation, and transport, influence the growth and erosion of the orogen. During glacial times wet-based glaciers sculpted the mountain range and left overdeepend and U-shaped valleys, which were backfilled during interglacial times with paraglacial sediments over several cycles. These sediments partially still remain within the valleys because of insufficient evacuation capabilities into the foreland. The high peaks of the Himalaya represent the orographic barrier to precipitation mainly delivered by the Indian Summer Monsoon from the east and by the westerlies from the west mainly to the westernmost peaks of the Himalaya. Therefore, precipitation along the arc shows north-south and east-west gradi- ents influencing the present day vegetation density but also part the presence of glaciers. The climatic processes overlay long-term tectonic processes responsible for uplift and exhumation caused by con- vergence.

  • Natural Dams and Outburst Floods of the Karakoram Himalaya
    Hydrological Aspects of Alpine and High Mountain Areas (Proceedings of the Exeter Symposium, Juiy 1982). IAHS Publ. no. 138. Natural dams and outburst floods of the Karakoram Himalaya KENNETH HEWITT Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario Canada N2L 3C5 ABSTRACT Glacier dams and outburst floods ("jokulhlaups") have been reported in many glacierized mountain regions, and may create hazards for human populations. Specially large and dangerous examples occur where the rivers of extensive ice-free zones are blocked. This hydrological anomaly has been rare in modern times except for two areas: the southern Alaska-Yukon ranges and Karakoram Himalaya. In the Karakoram some 30 glaciers may form substantial dams on the Upper Indus and Yarkand river systems. Many more interfere with the flow of rivers in a potentially dangerous way. There is evidence of some 35 disastrous jokulhlaups since 1826. Rarer landslide dams have resulted in the largest dam-burst floods. The paper provides a record of known dams and related events, and identifies the glaciers involved. It indicates the role of the regional environment in the widespread potential for these glacier dams and catastrophic outbursts. Some data are given on the dimensions of past dams and the nature and impact of the flood waves. No dams were reported from the mid 1930's until 1978 when satellite imagery showed a 6 km glacier lake on the Upper Yarkand. The absence of dams in recent decades relates to a general glacier recession here. Renewed activity creates serious problems for water resource development and settlement growth that occurred in the recent, unusually favourable period.
