dc.description.abstractThe Himalayan cryosphere, also termed “the Third Pole, " acts as a natural storehouse to several mega river systems, such as the Ganges, Indus, and Brahmaputra, serving billions of people with fresh water. However, the high mountain ranges of the Himalayas are also susceptible to various categories of hazards, such as snow/rock-ice avalanches, landslides, earthquakes, and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). The present study attempts to perform a series of investigations to better understand the dynamics of snow/glaciers in the Himalayan region and their contribution to perennial river streams. It also includes studying the major types of Himalayan hazards that have occurred in the recent past.
