Event Description : "Environmental Change on a Himalayan scale" an exhibition by Professor Dr. Marcus Nuesser.
The global debate on glacier dynamics and its variations highlight the importance of glaciers as water resources and their utility as indicators of climate change. Since the Little Ice Age, glacial retreat has occurred in almost all the mountain regions. However, the impact of climate change on the Himalayan glaciers is poorly understood, mainly because long-range and consistent records of glacial fluctuations are mostly unavailable for large tracts of this mountain system.
Some historical paintings, photographs and sketches are available, however, along the Himalayan arc. Repeat terrestrial photography has made visual comparison possible, to identify changes in the glaciers and patterns of vegetation, land use and urban development.
Bi-temporal comparisons between historical photographs, paintings, maps and repeated photographs; satellite imagery and topographic maps, demonstrate these changes in the Nanga Parbat area, north-western Himalayas, through Ladakh and Nepal to Sikkim.
