To understand the changes in the glacier mass in the Ulugh Muztagh Mountains in the East Kunlun Mountains due to global warming, a time series of satellite stereo-images from the Terra Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) were derived from 2000 to 2020. Digital elevation models (DEMs) of the glaciers were generated and used to assess the changes in these glacier masses from 2000 to 2020. The results show that the surface elevation of glaciers in the Ulugh Muztagh region changed by \u22120.17 \u00b1 10.74 m from 2000 to 2020, corresponding to a mass change of \u22120.14 \u00b1 9.13 m w.e. The glacier mass balance increased by 0.64 \u00b1 9.22 m w.e. in 2000\u20132011 and then decreased by 0.78 \u00b1 9.04 m w.e. in 2011\u20132020. The annual mass balance of the glaciers was \u22120.0072 \u00b1 0.46 m w.e.\/yr from 2000 to 2020, showing glacial stability. The equilibrium line altitude (ELA) of the glacier was 5514 m a.s.l. from 2000 to 2020. In addition, we also found that the glacier mass losses in the west and north slopes were more significant than those in the east and south slopes. There was a phenomenon of glacier surges in the Yulinchuan glacier from 2007 to 2011. Overall, the glaciers were relatively stable with respect to the total glacier thickness in the Ulugh Muztagh Mountains.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15092338","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,28]],"date-time":"2023-04-28T09:54:53Z","timestamp":1682675693000},"page":"2338","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Slight Mass Loss in Glaciers over the Ulugh Muztagh Mountains during the Period from 2000 to 2020"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Lailei","family":"Gu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geography and Environmental Science, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}]},{"given":"Yanjun","family":"Che","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geographical Science, Yichun University, Yichun 336000, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Resource Environment and Sustainable Development of Oasis, Lanzhou 730070, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Cryospheric Science\/National Field Science Observation and Research Station of Yulong Snow Mountain Cryosphere and Sustainable Development (or Yulong Snow Mountain Station), Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou 730070, China"}]},{"given":"Mingjun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geography and Environmental Science, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Resource Environment and Sustainable Development of Oasis, Lanzhou 730070, China"}]},{"given":"Lihua","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography and Resources and Environment, School of Geography and Environment, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330000, China"}]},{"given":"Yushan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Tibetan Plateau Data Center, State Key Laboratory of Tibetan Plateau Earth System, Environment and Resources (TPESER), Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"given":"Xinggang","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Cryospheric Science\/National Field Science Observation and Research Station of Yulong Snow Mountain Cryosphere and Sustainable Development (or Yulong Snow Mountain Station), Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou 730070, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4133","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-021-24180-y","article-title":"High Mountain Asian glacier response to climate revealed by multi-temporal satellite observations since the 1960s","volume":"12","author":"Bhattacharya","year":"2021","journal-title":"Nat.
