HIMANSH
It is India’s Remote and High-Altitude research Station opened recently in Himalaya.
Key facts:
It is Indian government’s initiatives to better study and quantify the Himalayan glacier responses towards the climate change.
It is located at a remote region in Spiti, Himachal Pradesh.
It has been established by the National Centre for Antarctic and Ocean Research (NCAOR), Goa, under the Ministry of Earth Sciences.
The station houses many instruments to quantify the glacier melting and its relation to changing climate. Some of the instruments that are available at this research facility include, Automatic Weather Stations for weather monitoring, water level recorder for quantifying the glacier melt and ground penetrating radar to know the thickness of glaciers.
The researchers would be using this as a base for undertaking surveys using Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) that would digitize the glacier motion and snow cover variations with exceptional precision.
