Climate change science in HKH
Use of online resources and extraction of
data into Arc GIS (aqueduct, Google fusion
table).
Modification
Confinement of the study area into two sub
basins
Slight changes in the objectives
◦ Comparison (between models and sub- basins)
◦ Sensitivity analysis
3. Licensed Arc GIS 10.1
Snow and glacier cover data from MENRIS
ICIMOD
