Himalayan And Trans-Himalayan Glacier Fluctuations Since Ad 1812, Paul Andrew Mayewski, Peter A. Jeschke
Himalayan And Trans-Himalayan Glacier Fluctuations Since Ad 1812, Paul Andrew Mayewski, Peter A. Jeschke
Earth Science Faculty Scholarship
Historical records of the fluctuations of glaciers in the Himalayas and Trans-Himalayas date back to the early 19th century. Local and regional syntheses of 112 of these fluctuation records are presented in this study. The local syntheses deal with fluctuations of glaciers in Kanchenjunga-Everest, Garwhal, Lahaul-Spiti, Kolahoi, Nanga Parbat, Karakoram (north and south sides), Rakaposhi-Haramosh, Batura Mustagh, and Khunjerab-Ghujerab. Regional syntheses deal with the composite record and the differentiation of records by glacier type (longitudinal versus transverse) and regional setting (Himalayan versus Trans-Himalayan). In a gross regional sense Himalayan and Trans-Himalayan glaciers have been in a general state of retreat …

Earth Science Faculty Scholarship
During the past year, data analysis has been under-taken on the recent and past dynamics of several northern Victoria Land glaciers, notably Rennick Glacier; the dynamics of selected rock glaciers in Wright Valley; and on the weathering characteristics of dolorites in the Queen Maud Mountains.
