Klappentext zu „Glacier mass balance and discharge calculation of Himalayan Glacier “
Changes in glaciers and ice caps provide some of the clearest evidence of climate change, and as such they constitute key variables for early detection strategies in global climate-related observations. These changes have impacts on global sea level fluctuations, the regional to local natural hazard situation, as well as on societies dependent on glacier meltwater. Internationally coordinated collection and publication of standardised information about ongoing glacier changes was initiated back in 1894. The compiled data sets on the global distribution and changes in glaciers(mass balance) and ice caps provide the backbone of the numerous scientific publications on the latest findings about surface ice on land. Since the very beginning, the compiled data has been published by the World Glacier Monitoring Service and its predecessor organisations. However, the corresponding data tables, formats and meta-data are mainly of use to specialists. Glacier discharge also play crucial role for hydro powerplant.
Autoren-Porträt von Pratik Kumar Upadhyaya, Manish Mehta
Upadhyaya, Pratik KumarP. K. Upadhyaya is pursuing M.Sc. in Geology in school of earth,ocean and climate science, IIT Bhubaneswar. He has obtained Bachelor's degree in geology from Govt. College Sundargarh, Odisha. The aim of the book is to calculate the mass balance and discharge of Chorabari glacier and tried to find out the role of debris cover on glacier melting.
