„Glaciers in the eastern Pamir were on average almost in balance, as in the Karakoram (Brun et al., 2017; Holzer et al., 2016).
„In the western Pamir, glacier volume evolution seems to be more negative, but is for the first decade of the 2000s still relatively modest (Brun et al., 2017); moreover, satellite images of the past two decades reveal that many glaciers in this region have surged.“
„However, many of the non-surge-type glaciers in the Pamir have been continuously retreating and losing area and mass since the Little Ice Age (Holzer et al., 2016; Khromova et al., 2006; Shangguan et al., 2006).“

Leider wird die Glaziologie in TJ, wie viele andere wissenschaftliche Disziplinen auch, vom Staat nicht besonders gefördert und finanziell unterstützt. Da wäre noch vieles zu machen!
