Abstract:
The Himalayan glaciers nursed in the highest valleys of the world and southern most in the northern hemisphere are rather unique. Extreme environmental and meteorological regimes are encountered by these glaciers and so in a way may be different from the glaciers in other regions of the world. The current remote sensing satellite systems present excellent data from which the required glacier parameters for its various features can be derived. Some recent results are presented and discussed in terms of the uniqueness of Himalayan glaciers.
