The snow/glaciers of the Himalayan region is melting at an alarming rate that has direct threat to the hydrological cycle, increasing frequency of hazards such as landslides, snow avalanches, floods, glacial lake outburst flood etc. A multi-disciplinary group is involved in monitoring atmospheric pollution and air quality surrounding the Himalayan snow/glacier regions around IIT Mandi (Himachal Pradesh). The group has deployed few network of air monitoring instruments. Analysis of ground and satellite data during pre-monsoon (Feb-June) season clearly shows poor air quality and growing atmospheric pollution over the Himalayan snow/glacier regions. During pre-monsoon season, the biomass burning in the Himalaya is common by the people living in the Himalaya to feed their cattle. Such activities accelerate melting of snow/glaciers. The Indian Government is forcing farmers to ban biomass burning in the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), but it may be difficult to ban the biomass burning in the mountainous areas. Detailed analysis of ground and satellite data show the dynamic nature of the Himalayan environment associated with the outflow of pollutants due to anthropogenic activities and observed long transport of dust, affecting the state of Himalayan snow/glaciers. The group is interested for long term collaboration with international scientists for better understanding of the Himalayan environment and to quantify the melting of snow/glaciers.
