The origin and mobilization of the extensive debris cover associated with the glaciers of the Nanga Parbat Himalaya is complex. The AA. propose a mechanism by which glaciers can form rock glaciers through inefficiency of sediment transfer from

This paper documents the age-constrained pollen record from a peat bed at the Gujjar Hut locality (Garhwal Higher Himalaya), which displays the climate and monsoon trend for the past 7800 yr. This trend suggests progressive cooling, with a decrease

Reviews the history of the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), which was founded in 1983 and has its main focus on the Hindu-Kush-Himalayas. ICIMOD primarily serves as a multidisciplinary documentation and information
but seldom have a voice in its planning and implementation. Trained locals have or will have carried out interviews in the Central Andes (Peru), Mount Elgon (Kenya), the highlands of Ethiopia and Lesotho, southwest and northeast China, the Himalaya (India
