New presentation – Climate Change in Gilgit-Baltistan: impacts on humans and hazards
Posted by Dave Petley
Today I am giving a presentation at a UNPO meeting in Brussels entitled: Gilgit Baltistan: A Critical but Unknown Pivot of South Asia under Threat. My presentation is entitled “Climate Change in Gilgit-Baltistan: impacts on humans and hazards”. The talk examines the range of natural hazards in this area of NE. Pakistan, including the potential effects of earthquakes and climate change, and it highlights of course the Attabad landslide. A pdf of the presentation should be available here: 11_05 EU Gilgit Petley
Dave Petley is the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hull in the United Kingdom. His blog provides commentary and analysis of landslide events occurring worldwide, including the landslides themselves, latest research, and conferences and meetings.
Wow! How Ironic! I posted a comment yesterday after visiting the Pamir Times, wondering if we could get an update.
Little did I know, that you would be addressing the exact questions I had.
FYI Links to the PDF don’t appear to be working.
Thanks,
