Towards understanding various influences on mass balance of the Hoksar Glacier in the Upper Indus Basin using observations
Abstract Mass balance is a good indicator of glacier health and sensitivity to climate change. The debris-covered Hoksar Glacier (HG) in the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) was studied using direct and geodetic mass balances. During the 5-year period from 2013 to 2018, the glacier’s mean in situ mass balanc...
