The western Himalayan region is highly vulnerable to even minor climate changes because of its fragile ecology that might harm not only the valley's pristine ecosystems but also its socio economic sectors. Since the hydrology of this region is primarily governed by snow and glaciers, the Himalaya's local weather and climate are sensitive to and int...

... maximum and minimum temperature and rainfall of long term weather data revealed that maximum temperature has increased significantly to the tune of 1.8 0 C from 19 0 C to 20.8 0 C over the period of 1985-2020 at Shalimar with slope of 0.04 and the R 2 value of 0.19, which is coefficient of determination value that explains 19 % of variability in the annual maximum temperature (Figure 1, 2 and 3). However, minimum temperature has not shown any significant impact (slope = -0.0034) ...

Climate change arising from anthropogenic driven emissions of greenhouse gases has emerged as one of the most important environmental issues in the last two decades. One of the most significant potential consequences of climate change may be alteration in regional hydrological cycle and river flow regimes. Increased temperature is expected to incre...
In this study, we simulated the evolution of a large glacier-fed lake called the Gepangath lake located in Western Himalayas by numerically modelling the evolution of the Gepangath glacier that feeds the lake. This modelling was carried out by a 1D model that is based on the principle of mass conservation. The 1D model was forced with the glacier s...
The increasing number of climate-associated disasters in the Himalayan region causing a huge impact on human life and the ecosystem are the bellwethers of climate change. Weather records from the high Himalayas, though sparse and limited to the past few decades, show its sensitivity to global climate change. However, short observational records pre...
