Hindu Kush-Himalayan Glacier Monitoring Network, HKH-GMN, in HKH-FRIEND.

UNESCO: Valdivia, Chile, 2003

The objectives of the Workshop were to examine the opportunity and means of establishing an Andean Glacier monitoring Network (A-GMN) through international co-operation between research workers and institutions, national agencies and international organisations and programs.

There is presently no Andean-FRIEND and the concomitant establishment of A-GMN and Andean-FRIEND was judged to be the most opportune method of developing an integrated glaciological and hydrological program for regional monitoring and management use in a region where snow and ice reserves are such an important part of water resources.
