Done with 1st day on #ponkarglacier, our girls were curious, they learned abt features of glaciers, types of debris, formation of various lakes around glacier.
We rushed back before strong wind storm takes over N reduces visibility.

LAUNCHING THIS WINTER: ICIMOD’S FIRST EVER ALL WOMEN CRYOSPHERE EXPEDITION

APPLY NOW – icimod.org/event/cryosphe…

ICIMOD is offering 10 women from Bhutan, China, India, Nepal and Pakistan aged 21 to 28 the chance to make history, build skills, and forge a new network, by joining our first ever ‘HKH Women On Ice Expedition’ this December. The expedition will build women’s skills and understanding in a critical sphere of science that remains hugely dominated by men. No experience is necessary.

Apply by 15 August to be the part of this first-ever all-women expedition.

very happy that our new HMAGLOFDB database is now published - beyond the scientific value, a big data and team effort led by @fshrestha laying the groundwork for future efforts on how to make risk data truly accessible in the region

ICIMOD’s latest report, Water, Ice, Society, and Ecosystems in the #HinduKushHimalaya, is published today.

Building on the 2019 Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) assessment report, this major new study provides the most accurate assessment of #snow, ice, and #permafrost to date.

The peer-reviewed study warns of grave consequences to the region, which provides #freshwater services to a quarter of the world's population and is home to four global #biodiversity hotspots.

Key findings:
🔹Himalayan #glaciers disappeared 65% faster in the 2010s than in previous decade
🔹The glaciers could lose up to 80% of their current volume by end of this century
🔹Availability of #water in the Hindu Kush Himalaya is expected to peak in mid-century then decline
🔹#Floods and #landslides are projected to increase over the coming decades
🔹Effects of the changing #cryosphere on fragile #mountain habitats are particularly acute
