The research project SHARE PAPRIKA is devoted to determining the state of glaciers and water resources in the Hindu-Kush Karakorum Himalaya region (HKKH) and to estimating their conditions in the coming decades in different climate change scenarios. PAPRIKA included the twin national projects: PAPRIKA-Italy and PAPRIKA-France, having two different focus areas. The main focus area of PAPRIKA-Italy was the Karakorum region, in particular the Baltoro glacier and the upper Indus basin in Northern Pakistan.
