The Second International Conference on Cryosphere of the Hindu Kush Himalayas organized by the ICIMOD concluded recently with intensive discussions on cryosphere of the region.
The conference brought together national, regional and international institutions on a common platform for sharing knowledge of the cryosphere, including on topics related to snow, glaciers, permafrost, glacio-hydrological monitoring, and mass balance.
Around 140 experts, researchers, scientists, academics and professionals from around the worlds attended the event. The conference helped promote knowledge sharing and strengthened the cryospheric network for monitoring and understanding the cryosphere of the HKH region.
A total of 40 research papers were discussed during the event, covering topics such as glacier mass balance measurements, satellite-based mapping of the snow and permafrost extent in the region, glacio-hydrological measurements and Knowledge and modeling in the region.
During the closing session, David Molden, director general of ICIMOD, stressed the need to take innovative approaches in cryosphere monitoring and to come up with a comprehensive picture of the cryosphere.
