In Collaboration with GB-EPA (Gilgit-Baltistan Environmental Protection Agency), KIU (Karakoram International University), UOB (University of Baltistan), and the University of Milan, EvK2CNR successfully installed Automated Weather Stations (AWS) in Askoli, Urdukas, and Concordia, a press release said.

This initiative is a part of the project “Glaciers and Students,” implemented by EvK2CNR, executed by UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) and funded by AICS (Italian Agency for Development Cooperation). The press release further added that “Earlier, AWSs have been installed on Passu, Ghulkin, and Shisper Glaciers in 2022 under the Glacier and Students Project that is contributing to the collection of data to climate research, facilitating initiatives to address climate change challenges.

“The AWSs installation on glaciers offers numerous benefits such as enhanced glacial research as it will contribute to comprehensive glacial research, enabling scientists and researchers to study the effects of climate change on glacial retreat, mass balance, and melt rates. It can further be used for early warning systems for glacial hazards, safeguarding vulnerable communities downstream from potential disasters.
