Diverse landscapes of South East Asian forests helped it survive 'Last Glacial Maximum'

The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was a major climatic event in the Last Glacial Cycle (LGC) and in many areas was a time of significant landscape change. Studies cateogorise LGM as a complex interval characterised by different glacier behaviour across Europe.

Melting J&K glaciers threaten water supply, biodiversity, expert warns

it was observed that the glaciers in the Pir Panjal range are melting at a higher rate -- more than one metre per year -- while as the glaciers in the Karakoram range are melting relatively at a slower rate, around 10 cm per year.

Ladakh glacier melting can form 3 glacial lakes: Study

The glacier's yearly melting rate was 6 times faster between 1999 and 2021 (22 years) than that calculated from 1971 to 1999 (28 years).
