Weak precipitation, warm winters and springs impact glaciers of south slopes of Mt. Everest (central Himalaya) in the last 2 decades (1994–2013)
Studies on recent climate trends from the Himalayan range are limited, and even completely
absent at high elevation (> 5000 m asl). This study specifically explores the southern slopes …

POP and PAH contamination in the southern slopes of Mt. Everest (Himalaya, Nepal): long-range atmospheric transport, glacier shrinkage, or local impact of tourism?
Due to their physico-chemical properties, POPs and PAHs are subjected to long-range
atmospheric transport (LRAT) and may be deposited in remote areas. In this study, the …
