Glacier mass changes in the Western Pamirs 2003-2024 from high-resolution stereo satellite images

Abstract: The Pamir Mountains are an important target of current research: they constitute a crucial mountain water tower that is highly vulnerable to future climatic, environmental, and social change; and they contain glaciers experiencing limited early 21st-century mass loss despite climate warming. Due to geopolitical factors, the in-situ records in the region were interrupted during this period, and current assessments of glacier volume and mass change in this region are highly uncertain. A global assessment of geodetic mass balance from ASTER images has suggested a change in the mass balance regime in the region toward declining glacier health, but its uncertainties are very high. In this study, we leverage high-resolution (
