This needs further investigation on whether the slowing is general and continuing. In addition, glacier surging occurs more frequently in the Karakoram and Kunlun Mountains. ...
The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China is the largest arid region in Central Asia, and is heavily dependent on glacier melt in high mountains for water supplies. ...

Surge dynamics and lake outbursts of Kyagar Glacier, Karakoram
2017
The Cryosphere
</strong> The recent surge cycle of Kyagar Glacier, in the Chinese Karakoram, caused formation of an ice-dammed lake and subsequent glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) exceeding 40<span class="thinspace ...
The surge initiated with the onset of the 2014 melt season, and in the following 15 months velocity evolved in a manner consistent with a hydrologically controlled surge mechanism. ...

A new band ratio technique for mapping debris-covered glaciers using Landsat imagery and a digital elevation model
2015
International Journal of Remote Sensing
Accuracy assessment was carried out through comparisons of the classified maps with reference maps from the Randolph Glacier Inventory, Glacier Inventory GIS data of China, and a manual delineation done ...
Mapping of debris-covered glaciers using optical remote-sensing data is a difficult task due to the fact that the debris cover on the glacier surface has a similar reflectance to surrounding rocky or sandy ...
