  • Glacier Characteristics and Retreat Between 1991 and 2014 in the Ladakh Range, Jammu and Kashmir
    February 24, 2017 Remote Sensing Letters chudley-ladakh-manuscript To appear in Remote Sensing Letters Vol. 00, No. 00, Month 20XX, 1{17 Glacier characteristics and retreat between 1991 and 2014 in the Ladakh Range, Jammu and Kashmir THOMAS R. CHUDLEYy∗, EVAN S. MILESy and IAN C. WILLISy yScott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK (Received 29th November 2016) The Ladakh Range is a liminal zone of meteorological conditions and glacier changes. It lies between the monsoon-forced glacier retreat of the Himalaya and Zanskar ranges to the south and the anomalous stability observed in the Karakoram to the north, driven by mid-latitude westerlies. Given the climatic context of the Ladakh Range, the glaciers in the range might be expected to display intermediate behaviour between these two zones. However, no glacier change data have been compiled for the Ladakh Range itself. Here, we examine 864 glaciers in the central section of the Ladakh range, covering a number of smaller glaciers not included in alternative glacier inventories. Glaciers in the range are small (median 0.25 km2; maximum 6.58 km2) and largely distributed between 5000-6000 m above sea level (a.s.l.). 657 glaciers are available for multitemporal analysis between 1991 to 2014 using data from Landsat multispectral sensors. We find glaciers to have retreated -12.8% between 1991{2014. Glacier changes are consistent with observations in the Western Himalaya (to the south) and in sharp contrast with the Karakoram (to the north) in spite of its proximity to the latter. We suggest this sharp transition must be explained at least in part by non-climatic mechanisms (such as debris covering or hypsometry), or that the climatic factors responsible for the Karakoram behaviour are extremely localised.
