Global Issues at Indo-Tibetan Border and its Glacier Burst in Uttarakhand

Mountainous environments are interrelated with transforming rapidly as the global temperatures climb higher. Around the globe, mountain glaciers are retreating  [1, 2] and impacting the concern in water supply (for up to 1.9 billion people) [3] . These dramatic environmental changes are predicted and expected to ­­affect the mountain hazards, such as the flooding (frequency and magnitude) and landslide events [4] . The local ensured impacts well and highly uncertain scenario, because of the complex and critical interactions between the local weather, mountain cryosphere and topography [4] . The world’s glaciers are well shrinking, with knock-on good impacts for local communities. Therefore, we need a good grasp of the hazards on which they leave behind. High mountain hosts and their largest glacier concentration were present outside the polar locations/regions in Asia. These glaciers are vital contributors to streamflow process in one of the most populated areas of the world. The...
