Irrigation as a potential driver for anomalous glacier behavior in high mountain Asia
Submitted by susan on Fri, 2018-02-23 12:04
Many glaciers in the northwest of High Mountain Asia (HMA) show an almost zero or positive mass balance, despite the global trend of melting glaciers. This phenomenon is often referred to as the “Karakoram anomaly,” although strongest positive mass balances can be found in the Kunlun Shan mountain range, northeast of the Karakoram.
