C43B:
Collaborative Research to Address Changes in the Climate, Hydrology, and Cryosphere of High-Mountain Asia I
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 60386
Session Description:
High Mountain Asia is the world’s largest reservoir of perennial glaciers and snow outside of the Earth’s polar ice sheets, supplying water to more than a billion people. Changes in the region’s glaciers, snow, permafrost, climate and precipitation patterns have altered this water supply, while also transforming regional ecology, hydropower production systems, land utilization, and the hazards associated with landslides, ice avalanches and glacial-lake-outburst floods. Addressing these challenges requires data sharing, collaboration and research integration across multiple disciplines and agencies. We invite scientists and regional stakeholders to participate in an interactive discussion aimed at enhancing research coordination and advancing knowledge of the High Asian cryosphere. This session welcomes studies that combine field and remote sensing observations with climate and land surface models to provide decision support and inform hazard mitigation.
