About the Workshop
Studies on the Himalayan cryosphere have attained global significance due to the impact of climate change on Himalayan glaciers and snow cover vis-a-vis its consequence across all major river basins arising from Himalaya affecting almost 1.5 billion people. The emerging
issues include the impact of glacier and snowmelt resulting in formation of several new lakes, some of which pose severe risk due to potential Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF). A relatively new phenomenon has emerged i.e. permafrost melting and its associated hazards. Due to changing pattern of precipitation, including extreme precipitation, many avalanche chutes and snout regions have experienced huge debris slides. The workshop is aimed at addressing the high mountain hazard with emphasis on Himalayan cryospheric hazards.
