dc.description.abstract | To help delineate the transition in pattern and timing of glaciation between two contrasting regions, Lahul to the south and Ladakh to the north, moraines in the Puga and Karzok valleys of Sanskrit in the Transhimalaya of northern India were mapped and dated using cosmogenic Be-10. In Lahul, Late Quaternary glaciation was extensive with total valley glacial systems being >100 km in extent, whereas glaciation in Ladakh has been comparatively restricted, with glaciers advancing only similar to 15 km from the contemporary glaciers during the last 200 ka. In the Puga valley, glaciers advanced >15 km at similar to 129 ka and similar to 10 km at similar to 46 ka, similar to 4.2 ka, and similar to 0.6 ka. In the Karzok valley, glaciers advanced similar to 1 km at similar to 3.6 ka. Boulder exposure ages from a large moraine complex in Karzok indicate a glacial advance at similar to 80 ka of similar to 4 km from the present ice margin. The oldest moraine in Karzok is similar to 311 ka, indicating that glaciers advanced >10 km from the present ice margin during or before marine isotope stage 9. The glacial chronology of the two valleys shows a lack of early Holocene glaciation and generally asynchronous glaciation between them. Moraines in the Puga and Karzok valleys broadly correlate with previous studies in the Zanskar Range but the paucity of data for many of the glacial stages across the Zanskar region makes the correlations tentative. The lack of early Holocene glaciation in the Puga and Karzok valleys is in stark contrast to many regions of the Himalaya, including Lahul, and the restricted glacial extent in Zanskar is more similar to the style of glaciation in Ladakh. The similarity between the glacial records in the Puga and Karzok study areas suggests that the transition to Lahul style glaciation is to the south of the Karzok valley, showing that this geographical transition is abrupt.
