To Assess the Impacts of Climate
Change on Snow and Glacier Melt Runoff


                            Gunjan Silwal
                               CDES, TU
                                  Nepal
   Dynamics of snow and glacier
   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
   Licensed Arc GIS 10.1
   Snow and glacier cover data from MENRIS
    ICIMOD
   Various online links
    ◦ http://aqueduct.wri.org/atlas
    ◦ http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/precipitation/tovas
    ◦ http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane
THANK YOU!!!
