The glacial (MIS 3-2) outlet glacier of the Marsyandi Nadi-icestream-network with its Ngadi Khola tributary glacier (Manaslu- and Lamjung Himalaya): The reconstructed lowering of the Marsyandi Nadi ice stream tongue down in to the southern Himalaya Foreland

Review of studies on land use and land cover change in Nepal

“…These mapping exercises indicated that remote-sensing (RS) data and geographic information system (GIS) tools are more reliable for snow cover mapping. Further snow cover and glacier change research has been carried out using various methods, datasets and techniques in Nepal in a major part of the Himalayan regions (Armstrong 2010;Bolch et al 2012), as well as at the national level (Shrestha and Joshi 2009;Bajracharya et al 2014) or at a smaller scale (Maskey et al 2011;Shrestha et al 2012;Kuhle 2014;Shea et al 2014). The overall small-scale mapping of various classes of LULC in Nepal is summarized in the Table 2, with LULC categories, spatial and temporal coverage, sources of data and references.…”

Distribution, diversity patterns and faunogenesis of the millipedes (Diplopoda) of the Himalayas

“…The particularly rich Himalayan diplopod fauna with its numerous small-ranging species confined to permanent forest sheds new light on a much disputed controversy among geographers, zoologists, taxonomists, climatologists and glacialogists (Kuhle 1982, 2015 and figure 4 therein). Was the central Himalayan chain, at least at certain sections of the Pleistocene, covered by a complete shield of ice?…”
