As part of the year-long commemoration of the 175th Anniversary of the GSI, a day-long national symposium on “Cryosphere Response to Climate Change: A Himalayan and Polar Perspective” was organised by the GSI, Northern Region, on Friday.
In his presidential address, the ADG Rajinder Singh discussed the melting glaciers and other adverse effects of climate change on the Cryosphere and expressed concern.
The day-long symposium provided a platform to scholars and policy-makers to share knowledge, challenges, and future possibilities.
In all, 24 research papers were presented by scientists and researchers from various institutions across the country followed by poster presentations. This platform aimed to promote interdisciplinary dialogue and enhance understanding among cryosphere scientists, climate modellers, water-resource managers, and decision-makers.
The objective was to strengthen preparedness in the face of accelerating climate shifts and to support better management of rapidly deteriorating glaciers, which are increasingly vulnerable to climate change and associated geo-hazards.
