330 .. $a The Himalaya Mountains contain not only one of the largest concentrations of ice outside
the polar regions, but contribute to the hydrological requirements of large populations
spread over seven nations. The exceptionally high elevations of this low-latitude
cryosphere presents a natural laboratory and archives to study climate-tectonics interactions
as well as regional v. global climate influences. The existing base-level data on
the Himalayan cryosphere are highly variable. Several climate fluctuations occurred
during the late Quaternary (MIS1-MIS5, especially the last c. 100 ka), which led to
the evolution of the Himalayan landscape. Detailed studies of these archives, along
with those of the present cryosphere and related hydrosphere, are essential for understanding
the controls on present and future hydrology of the glacial-fed mountain rivers. This
volume, a follow-up of the XII International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Science,
Goa (A SCAR symposium), provides new data from locales spread over the entire Himalaya
region and from Tibet. It provides a glimpse of the late Quaternary cryosphere, as
well as a discussion in the last section on sustainability in the context of geohazard
mitigations as well as the hydrological budget
