The Nepal Forum of Science Journalists (NFSJ) organized “Meet the Scientists – Episode 9,” featuring Dr. Mohan B. Chand from the Climate and Disaster Research Center (HiCCDRC), Department of Environmental Science, Kathmandu University.
Dr. Chand presented an insightful analysis of the 26 August Rasuwa glacier-related flood, linking the event to climate change and the changing face of Himalayan mountain hazards, with a particular focus on the Himalayan cryosphere.
The presentation was followed by a meaningful interaction between climate scientist and science journalists, making the session highly insightful, productive, and useful for understanding emerging climate and mountain hazards and communicating them effectively to the public.
Thank you, Dr. Mohan B. Chand, for your valuable time, expertise, and effort. We greatly appreciate your contribution to strengthening dialogue between scientists and science journalists.
