A new study is the latest and perhaps most convincing indication that climate change is eating the Himalayas’ glaciers, potentially threatening water supplies for hundreds of millions of people across much of Asia.
After a decade of development and deployment in Africa, a climate data initiative from Columbia University’s International Research Institute for Climate and Society is expanding into Bangladesh.
The impacts of climate change don’t always come one at a time. A recent workshop at Columbia focused on what’s needed to predict and adapt when multiple climate-related disasters happen simultaneously.
Columbia glaciologists Jonny Kingslake and Elizabeth Case examine how ice sheets are changing in size, how ice flows, and how increased melt and faster glacier movement might impact the rest of our planet.
