This book provides detailed information on the Northwestern Himalayas in India. The scientific data compiled in the book is based on more than two decades of field and laboratory studies by the authors. The Ladakh region is a well-known cold desert with unique geological and climatic setting. The influence of Westerlies in the region has played significant role in the Ladakh region to behave much differently than rest of the Himalaya. The â€œKarakorum Anomalyâ€? has been a key factor in negating the effect of global climate change in this region of Himalaya. The scientific discussion of some major glaciers of the region, as case study, are also discussed in this book. The uniqueness of the region with respect to climate shall be elaborated with the help of case studies.Â
