Limnology of high altitude lakes in the Mt. Everest Region (Nepal)

Limnological research carried out jointly by Nepal and Italian scientists under auspicious of RONAST/Ev-K2-CNR Project following the establishment of “Piramid Laboratory” in 1990 in Lobuche at a height of 5050 m at the foot of Mount Everest, one the highest inhabited places in the world, marks a major contribution in the field of limnological research in Nepal.

The aim of this book is, instead, to collect in an integrated database all the currently available information on the limnology of high-altitude freshwater lakes. This will be the first time it has been attempted to produce such a large database on these remote lakes, which lie at an altitude of about 4000-6000 m a.s.l. In fact, 69 of the 90 lakes mapped in the area of the Mt Everest Region have been sampled and analysed for chemical and biological parameters, using uniform techniques. This database will contribute to filling the gaps in our present knowledge and furthering our understanding of human impact in remote areas
