Glacier-Fed Rivers – Building Upstream & Downstream Climate Resilience

Описание к видео Glacier-Fed Rivers – Building Upstream & Downstream Climate Resilience

Glacier-fed rivers play a critical role in water security, providing vital resources for drinking, irrigation, and hydropower. The cryosphere, which includes glaciers, snow, and permafrost, is undergoing significant change due to global warming, leading to shifts in water availability and timing that profoundly affect lowland communities reliant on these river systems. These changes create a cascade of risks, including increased flooding, drought, glacial lake outburst floods, and landslides.
