This $289,796 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research effort to investigate landscape changes, glacier dynamics, and glacial hazards in the Bhutanese Himalayas. The project brings together U.S. and Bhutanese scientists to use geophysical methods like radar and seismic surveys to study the Lunana glaciers region. Key objectives include improving understanding of sediment transport, glacier movements, and the potential for glacial outburst floods, as well as building geoscience research and field skills capacity in Bhutan. The project period runs from August 2024 through July 2027.
