A group of scientists has postulated a theory on why glaciers in the Karakoram Range of Central-South Asia have not been as affected by climate change as others.
While glaciers have generally been losing mass and extent across the world and in the Hindu Kush-Himalayan (HKH) region, one subset of glaciers in the Karakoram has been sticking out like a sore thumb by defying this trend.
@iasgeo @lonewolfias
Some glaciers in and around the range, northwest of the Tibetan Plateau, have actually been showing zero or positive mass balance changes.
This “Karakoram Anomaly” has been giving glaciologists sleepless nights and climate deniers a rare straw to clutch at.
