Himalayas on Thin Ice: Prof Anil Kulkarni on the Himalayan Meltdown
The Himalayan glaciers are retreating, and the water, energy, and geopolitical futures of over a billion people hang in the balance.
We begin Season 3 with Dr. Anil V. Kulkarni, one of the world's leading glaciologists and a pioneer in Himalayan cryosphere research, to understand what's really happening at the roof of the world.
Dr. Kulkarni's career reads like a story of firsts. He was the first to use satellite data to track the retreat of nearly 1,900 Himalayan glaciers. He developed India's first glacier mass balance model and snow-melt runoff model, exposing how climate change is quietly eroding hydropower potential across seasons. And his research on mid-winter snowmelt has identified a chilling story of global warming hiding in plain sight.
With an M.Tech in Applied Geology from IIT-Roorkee, an M.S in Geography from McGill University, Montreal, Canada, a Ph.D in Geology, Shivaji University, Kolhapur, and 40+ years watching the mountains change - this is THE episode for you to better understand our Himalayas.
