The main aim of the JEAI HIMALICE is to generate a step change in understanding of both the current state of glaciers in Everest area and predictions of their response to future climate change, together with the associated potential hazards. This aim will be achieved by creating an interdisciplinary network of glaciologists, climatologists, remote sensing scientists and numerical modellers with a common focus on mountain glaciers in this region. The network will: synthesize existing and emerging data to enhance the scope and timespan of current and future data gathering missions; develop novel techniques to address outstanding research questions; and establish a common protocol for field and satellite data gathering to identify and address unknowns in the measurement and prediction of glacier change, thereby allowing better understanding of the processes that control glacier response to climate change and reducing uncertainties in predictions of future change. A specific focus will be done on Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs), a hazard that is expected to rise in the future with the shrinkage of glaciers.
