G&S Project, the Book: The new inventory of 13,032 glaciers in Pakistan: the “Glaciers & Students” Project

One of the most important results of Glaciers & Students Project is the publication of the book that describes the activities end the methods adopted for the recognition and mapping of the 13,032 glaciers in Pakistan in the three ranges of Himalaya, Karakorum and Hindukush. The analysis of the satellite of 2022 gives a precise delineation of the surface of the glaciers and gives the possibility to verify the trend that happened in the last 30 years comparing the previous inventory with the new one.

The knowledge of the places that host the glaciers of Pakistan is presented in this book with a series of maps of the 62 basins that occupy the Northern areas of Pakistan.

The maps are published with scales aimed at a clear representation of the glacier distribution in each basin. To facilitate the recognition of glaciers in some wide basins, the zoom panels represented in the boxes were produced at the most suitable scale.
