Ice as an Agent of Sculpting Land
The glaciers have sculpted various landforms transforming the geomorphology of earth. These landforms are the result of processes of weathering, erosion and deposition under harsh climatic regimes.
Third Pole on Thin Ice
Himalayan glaciers influence the water regimes of major river systems in Asia and help sustain more than a billion people from several countries. Changing climate is threatening the health of Himalaya...
The Himalaya-Biodiversity Threats
It is easy to arrest a decline in Himalayan biodiversity, provided local communities are involved in the process. Efforts in the Himalayan region prove this beyond doubt.

Third Pole on Thin Ice
Himalayan glaciers influence the water regimes of major river systems in Asia and help sustain more than a billion people from several countries. Changing climate is threatening the health of Himalayan glaciers and potentially increasing hazards like glacier lake outburst flood, avalanches and landslides.
