The HKH is an atmospherically turbulent region with areas of high population density and which is experiencing rapid industrialization, further population growth, urbanization, and major shifts in land use and landscapes. Major regional sources of air pollutants […]
How emissions affect our water systems Meteorological conditions play an important role in glacier melt, particularly in the pre-monsoon season. There is, however, another contributor directly related to anthropogenic atmospheric emissions – black carbon (BC). It affects approximately 28% of total glacier melt in the HKH. Understanding this aspect of climate change is vital for […]
