The cryosphere in high mountain Asia (HMA) not only sustains the livelihoods of people
residing downstream through its capacity to store water but also holds the potential for …

Ongoing climate warming has been demonstrated to impact the cryosphere in the Indian
Himalayas, with substantial consequences for the risk of disasters, human well-being, and …

There are distinctive methodological and conceptual challenges in rare and severe event
(RSE) forecast-verification, that is, in the assessment of the quality of forecasts involving …

Abstract In Western Himalaya, an average 49 person die every year due to snow avalanche
activities and this death rate is very high as compared to other Asian countries. A snow …

Avalanches are snowfalls that cascade down a mountainside, although rockfalls and debris
flows can also occur. The study identifies the snow meteorological data for the avalanche …

Avalanche forecasting is carried out using physical as well as statistical models. All these
models have certain limitations associated with their mathematical formulation that enable …

This paper introduces a novel deep learning approach for predicting global solar radiation
and temperature. We propose an architecture based on Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural …

General purpose data parallel computing with graphical processing unit (GPU) is much
structured today with NVIDIA® CUDA and other parallel programming frameworks …

Karakoram mountains range in north-western part of Himalayas is about 500 km in length
and hosts some of the world's highest peaks and longest glaciers. It is characterized by …

Artificial neural network (ANN)-based models have been developed for simulation of
snowpack parameters—RAM hardness, shear strength, temperature, density, thickness and …
