The maximum ice age glaciation between the karakorum main ridge (K2) and the...
AbstractA modern research approach and working techniques in hitherto unexamined areas, produced the following results: 1). The tongues of decakilometre long Karakorum glaciers belong to temperate...

AbstractIn the Khumbu-and Khumbakarna Himalaya an ice stream network and valley glacier system has been reconstructed for the last glacial period (Würmian, Last Ice Age, Isotope stage 4–2, 60–18 Ka BP,...
View ArticleAltitudinal levels and altitudinal limits in high mountains
AbstractIn lowlands climate-specific processes due to weathering and erosion are dominant, whilst the geomorphology of mountains is dependent on the geologic-tectonic structure, i.e., the energy of...
View ArticleCritical approach to methods of glacier reconstruction in high Asia and...
AbstractThis overview discusses old and new results as to the controversy on the past glacier extension in High Asia, which has been debated for 35 years now. This paper makes an attempt to come closer...
View ArticleReview on dating methods: Numerical dating in the quaternary geology of High...
AbstractOver the past few years, OSL and TCN datings of glacial material from High Asia have come into fashion. To this day, however, these techniques do not permit safe calibration. The intensity of...

AbstractTheories of epistemology make reference—via the perspective of an observer—to the structure of information transfer, which generates reality, of which the observer himself forms a part. It can...

AbstractFor the reconstruction of past climate variations, investigations on the history of glaciers are necessary. In the Himalaya, investigations like these have a rather short tradition in...

AbstractThe primary context for this section is provided by Figs. 2.1 and 4.1. In this book, the most arid (i.e., low-precipitation) areas as well as the most centrally located areas of Central Tibet...
View ArticleThe Paleoclimatic Significance of the Ice Age Glaciation of High Asia
AbstractThe Tibetan inland ice cover had a minimum extent of 2.4 million km2. The glacier covers of the entirety of High Asia were, as shown by Fig. 5.1, even slightly larger. Unlike all the other...
View ArticleOn the Chronology of the Prehistoric Glacial Ice Cover
abstractThe first ice age indicated in Fig. 2.5 dates back to 120–140 ka. It is the second to last ice age, the pre-last High Glacial maximum or the Riß Ice Age (Stage-I). Traces of this older ice age...

AbstractIf we speak of the glacial (former) to current glaciation, in that precise order, then this is a matter of chronology. The progress of scientific discovery, however, took place in a reverse...
