MoES NCPOR supports IISc’s initiative to train the next generation of glaciologists through a dedicated program on glacier studies. Selected top performers will receive hands-on field training at the Himansh Station in the Western Himalayas, fostering future-ready expertise in cryospheric research. #NCPOR #Glaciology #ClimateScience #Himalayas #PolarResearch @narendramodi @mygovindia @PMOIndia @OfficeofDrJS @DrJitendraSingh @ravi_moes @PIB_India @Mib_India @PIBEarthScience @ESSO_INCOIS @MoesNiot @Indiametdept @ncs_earthquake @CentreCoastal @esso_ncess @iitmpune @cmlre_kochi @ncaor_goa @ncmrwfmoes

No early warning system and insufficient dam safety turned Sikkim flood deadly On the night of Oct-4, the glacier-fed South Lhonak Lake in North Sikkim breached, causing a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood that destroyed the state’s largest hydropower plant (Teesta III), leaving at least 35 dead and around 104 missing as on October 9.

Gepang Gath glacial lake in #HimachalPradesh is growing and at high risk of #GLOF. Glaciologists warn of #Sikkim-like glacial lake outburst in Himachal Pradesh #ClimateCrisis hindustantimes.com/india-news/in-…

Few observations of the South Lhonak Lake: lateral moraine failure, lake level dropped, floating ice on the lake surface, lake outlet widened, GLOF outwash visible, mapped using @esa Sentinel2 images @WaterSHEDLab @irfansalroo @GlacierResearch @BhambriRakesh @Revkin

A higher resolution look at the South Lhonak Lake GLOF. Water level has lowered but the lake still stretches >2km shown by the smooth surface of the floating ice/sediment @icicle_diaries @BhambriRakesh @vimalkhawas @WaterSHEDLab @Upadhyay_Cavita @realglacier @GlacierHazards

We are organising National Conference on the Himalayan Cryosphere. Have a look at the announcement. dccc.iisc.ac.in/assets/pdf/Nat…

I am delighted to know that our tool called the Himalayan Glacier Thickness Mapper (HIGTHIM) is extensively used to predict future lake formation.

"If India is going to re-negotiate the (Indus Water Treaty) it is a good idea to incorporate how changes in glaciers due to climate change would affect the availability of water,” says @anilkul54. Interview by @saumshinde and @sahanaghosh8. india.mongabay.com/2023/04/interv…

Increased glacial melt in the Indus river basin due to global warming is likely to raise strategic concerns over the sharing of water in the region, a new research article in the Current Science journal has indicated (@jayashreenandi reports) hindustantimes.com/india-news/gla…

#Glacial melt in Indus raises #strategic concerns for #SouthAsia. "Except for the Upper Indus basin all other sub-basins show a substantial rate of glacier mass loss, which can affect future water availability" #ClimateCrisis #India hindustantimes.com/india-news/gla…

Growing black carbon and greenhouse gas emissions are causing the glaciers in the Drass region of the western Himalayas to melt at a significant rate. The glaciers have thinned by 1.27 metres between 2000 and 2020. Story by @AzmatHirra. #Glaciers bit.ly/3dQ3kxL
