Glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region could lose over a thirdof their volume by 2100 even if the world manages to keep global warming below1.5℃, according to a report by the International Centre for Integrated MountainDevelopment (ICIMOD). If the global average temperature rises by 2℃ ...
New Delhi— Glaciers in the Hindu Kush region of the Himalaya mountains are melting at the fastest rate ever and could shed as much as 80% of their ice by the end of this century if global warming continues unchecked, a group of international scientists warned in an alarming new report. ...

The fate of the Hindu Kush Himalayan glaciers has been a topic of heated debate due to their rapid melting and retreat. The underlying reason for the debate is the lack of systematic large-scale observations of the extent of glaciers in the region owing to the high altitude, remoteness of ...
This publication contains the results of a detailed inventory of glaciers and glacial lakes, and of potential or actual glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) sites, in the Hindu Kush-Himalayan region in Nepal. The methods used to identify these glaciers and glacial lakes are described. A brief re...
