Synopsis
Many readers will be astonished that the contribution of glacial melt can be just under 1% even in the higher Himalayas. The estimates of some other researchers are far higher. The new study suggests the other researchers have failed to distinguish between snowmelt and glacial melt.
Agencies
In a 2014 report ISRO had monitored 2,018 Himalayan glaciers between 2001 and 2011. It found that only 248 glaciers were retreating, 1,752 were stable and 18 were advancing.
The recent flash flood in Uttarakhand was widely called a “glacier burst” although glaciers are not balloons and do not burst. It has spurred renewed warnings that global warming threatens quick melting of the Himalayan glaciers, decimating flows in the Gangetic plain, causing desertification and devastating agriculture. Academics like Brahma Chellaney predict wars from ....

Cry of the Himalaya: 4 Decades of Disasters, 4 Decades of Warning


I am a child of the Ganga Himalaya , nourished materially and spiritually by Dev Bhoomi, our sacred land. The mountains , forests and Ma Ganga have shaped my imagination, my knowledge ,my science , my life , my activism.
I have been an ecological activist for 4 decades inspired by the Chipko movement which started in the early 1970’s in my region of the Garhwal Himalaya in Uttarakhand.
Uttarakhand is the source of the sacred Ganga and its tributaries.The Ganga is   the lifeline of India. The sources of the Ganga, were made sacred sites in order to protect the Ganga Himalaya, and hence Indian civilisation .The material and the spiritual are not separate in India’s ecological civilisation . Our mountains ,forests and rivers are sacred. They are also the ecological foundation of our economy and society ....

As authorities race to rescue people trapped in Uttarakhand, following a devastating landslide-induced flash flood on February 7, scientists have called for deciphering the possibility of glacier-related hazards and enhance the capabilities of monitoring and early warning in the high mountain areas.
Scientists in a review published on February 2, before the floods, stressed on improved in situ monitoring network for weather, hydrology and glacier change as a crucial requirement for predicting the future of this resource and associated hazards and their impact on regional water, energy and food security. ....
