A new study led by scientists at Bhopal’s IISER has identified a small region in the Karakoram ranges where there was no significant loss of glacial mass. The study attributed it to the possible constant feeding of fresh snow triggered by precipitation events caused by the passing western disturbances
Some pockets of glaciated regions in the Karakoram ranges are bucking the global retreating trend driven by rising temperatures and global warming, a new study has found.
The Karakoram ranges – extending from Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India up to China – are home to some of the world’s most active glacial regions.
