Glaciers and Students (G&S) Project - A scientific based approach to monitor climate and glaciers in Pakistan Mountain Regions to support hydrogeological risk prevention

Glaciers & Students project aims at developing a consolidating program to establish monitoring of high altitude climate and assessment of glacier changes, in support of environmental monitoring and natural resources management in Pakistan Mountains, Project activities will also contribute to improve risk assessment and prevention, dealing in particular with GLOFs and hydrogeological hazard, thanks to the application of remote sensing and GIS techniques and a dedicated web information system.

The project intends to actively involve Pakistan Universities and their students in the monitoring activities through a dedicated training and capacity building program in the field of glaciers monitoring activities and remote sensing analysis in order to provide the appropriate tools to ensure the pursuing of a long term research activities at the end of the project.

The responsible of the funds was UNDP Pakistan. EvK2CNR Pakistan has been the reference partner of this project and the universities of Milan and Cagliari have been involved for the execution of the activities.

The final products of the projects are:

- the new glaciers inventory in shape format;

- the text with the presentation of this new output and the single maps of each basin.
