Exploring the patterns of alpine vegetation of Eastern Bhutan: a case study from the Merak Himalaya
A survey was conducted from March to September 2012 along the altitudinal gradient of the Jomokungkhar trail in the Merak Himalaya of Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary to study the floristic compositions and the patterns of alpine vegetation of Eastern Bhutan. The vegetation of the sampled plots is classified into five types of communities based on the hierarchical cluster analysis at similarity index...
متن کاملEvaluations for Potential of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (glofs) in the Bhutan Himalaya Using Prism and Avnir-2 Onboard Alos
The objectives of this study are to validate generated Digital Surface Models (DSMs) by PRISM onboard the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS, nicknamed “Daichi”) in snow and glacier regions to contribute to the evaluation of potential Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) and their mitigation in the Bhutan Himalaya. Glacial lake inventory will also be generated to investigate the expansion ...
متن کاملPerformance of ASTER and SRTM DEMs, and their potential for assessing glacial lakes in the Lunana region, Bhutan Himalaya
To assess the potential volume of a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) more precisely than in previous studies, we analyze ground survey data and remote-sensing digital elevation models (DEMs) around glacial lakes in the Lunana region, Bhutan. Based on a DEM generated from differential GPS ground surveys, we first evaluate the relative accuracies of DEMs produced by the Advanced Spaceborne Ther...
متن کاملThe Monetisation of Bhutan
The objective of this paper is to describe how Bhutanese society has become monetised over the years, at first very slowly, but rapidly during the last half century. I will briefly comment on the effect that monetisation has had on Bhutanese Society, and the potential conflict that exists between traditional values in Bhutan, which are largely non-monetary based, and so-called “modern” values, ...
متن کاملTowards an Ontology of Landforms
The paper begins with the question “Do mountains exist?” It shows that providing an answer to this question is surprisingly difficult, and that the answer which one gives depends on the context in which the question is posed. Mountains clearly exist as real correlates of everyday human thought and action, and they form the archetype for geographic objects. Yet individual mountains lack many of ...
