IISc Online Conference on Himalayan Cryosphere

IISc Online Conference on Himalayan Cryosphere

About the conference:

Himalayan cryosphere due to large concentration of seasonal snow and glacier provide sustainable source of water for people living in the mountain and in the surrounding plains. However, due to climate change Himalayan region is experiencing higher warming than global mean, causing rapid loss in glacier mass and early melt of seasonal snow, influencing water availability. In addition, retreating glaciers will also create new hazards like flash flood from glacier lakes, affecting safety and livelihood of people living in the mountains. By considering these aspects, an International Conference is being hosted by Divecha Centre for Climate Change, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore

The conference will provide a platform to exchange latest developments in the cryospheric science and the young researchers will get an opportunity to interact with eminent scientists.
