Objectives
 Standardization of
mapping of cryosphere region in the Himalayas
Standardization in
measurement and assessment of mass balance of benchmark glaciers
and cryospheric regions within national boundary
In field measurement of
climatic parameters
Palaeoclimatic
reconstruction for better understanding of magnitude and
frequency of past climate and future modeling.
Impact of snow cover and
cryosphere changes on cryosphere itself, river regime and
society as a result.
To investigate, assess
and measure changes in Cryosphere cover due to climate change on
standardized format.
To build on the field
data repository on climate and Cryosphere changes over space and
time.
To comprehend the impact
of such changes on human and ecological regimes with special
emphases on the Himalayan Rivers.
To build state-of-art
laboratories to achieve the above goals in each of the partner
institutions.
Terrain Mapping
Assessment of GHG & Black
Carbon Impact on Glacial Melt
Modeling the
contribution of Snow, Glacier and Rainfall to the stream flow
Mass Balance study of
Benchmark glaciers
Societal Resilience and
Adaptability
