Seasonal and annual mass balances of Mera and Pokalde glaciers (Nepal Himalaya) since 2007
In the Everest region, Nepal, ground-based monitoring programmes were started on the debris-free Mera Glacier (27.7 N, 86.9 E; 5.1 km2, 6420 to 4940 m a.s.l.) in 2007 and on the small Pokalde Glacier (27.9 N, 86.8 E; 0.1 km2, 5690 to 5430 m a.s.l., ∼ 25 km north of Mera Glacier) in 2009. These glaciers lie on the southern flank of the central Himalaya under the direct influence of the Indian mo...
متن کاملClimatic and geologic controls on suspended sediment flux in the Sutlej River Valley, western Himalaya
The sediment flux through Himalayan rivers directly impacts water quality and is important for sustaining agriculture as well as maintaining drinking-water and hydropower generation. Despite the recent increase in demand for these resources, little is known about the triggers and sources of extreme sediment flux events, which lower water quality and account for extensive hydropower reservoir fi...
متن کاملSurface Velocity of Swiss Alpine Glaciers from Ers Sar Interferometry
Differential SAR interferograms were computed over the Swiss Alps with ERS-1/2 Tandem data acquired between 1995 and 2000 from ascending and descending orbits and use of an external Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Comparison with the Swiss glacier inventory 2000 shows that winter interferograms with one day time interval have a generally high degree of coherence and are straightforward to identi...
متن کاملMulti-decadal mass loss of glaciers in the Everest area (Nepal Himalaya) derived from stereo imagery
Mass loss of Himalayan glaciers has wide-ranging consequences such as changing runoff distribution, sea level rise and an increasing risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). The assessment of the regional and global impact of glacier changes in the Himalaya is, however, hampered by a lack of mass balance data for most of the range. Multi-temporal digital terrain models (DTMs) allow glacier...
متن کاملpatterns and variations in native and non-native interlanguage pragmatic rating: effects of rater training, intercultural proficiency, and self-assessment
although there are studies on pragmatic assessment, to date, literature has been almost silent about native and non-native english raters’ criteria for the assessment of efl learners’ pragmatic performance. focusing on this topic, this study pursued four purposes. the first one was to find criteria for rating the speech acts of apology and refusal in l2 by native and non-native english teachers...
