One-dimensional hydraulic modelling of glacier lake outburst flood (GLOF) in Hunza sub-basin of Karakoram Open
Karakoram glacier lakes develop at high altitudes. Size of the glacier lake, the outburst mechanism, and the characteristics of floodplains are few driving forces that define glacier lake outburst flood (GLOF) hydraulics. This study analys…

Exploring susceptibility of protected areas to natural hazards in Karakoram-Himalaya Open
About 27 % territory of northern Pakistan is occupied by protected areas. Five national parks (∼ 19,000 km²), created and protected for conservation of mountain ecosystems are under the threat of natural hazards as 81 % park’s territories …

Heterogeneous mass balance of selected Glaciers in the Hindu Kush, Karakoram, and Himalaya between 2000 and 2018 Open
Glaciers in the Hindu Kush-Karakoram-Himalayas (HKH) are a major source of freshwater in the agriculture-dependent economy of Pakistan. In recent decades, mountain glaciers have been threatened by global warming. In this study, we estimate…

Inventory and GLOF Susceptibility of Glacial Lakes in Hunza River Basin, Western Karakorum Open
Northern latitudes of Pakistan are warming at faster rate as compared to the rest of the country. It has induced irregular and sudden glacier fluctuations leading to the progression of glacial lakes, and thus enhancing the risk of Glacier …

Adjustment of glacier geometries to future equilibrium line altitudes in the Shigar River Basin of Karakoram Range, Pakistan Open
Pakistan’s Karakoram region has a large variety of glacier types. Equilibrium line altitude (ELA) of alpine or valley glaciers represents mass balance. Field observations for estimation of ELA of the majority of Karakoram’s glaciers are no…

District-level disaster risk and vulnerability in the Northern mountains of Pakistan Open
Mountain systems of Northern Pakistan are highly vulnerable due to their spatial locality, low natural capacity, insufficient or no alternatives to cope and to reduce the adverse impacts posed by natural stresses. This case study aims to p…

Hypsometric analysis of major glaciers of Shigar river basin in the Karakoram mountain range Open
Unique environment and multifaceted mountain geo-dynamics of Karakoram disguise the variations present in the hypsometries (frequency distribution of altitudes). We report hypsometry of mountain glaciers of Shigar river basin (with a 7046 …
