*WON’T YOU PLEASE HELP A FELLOW LIST MEMBER?*

Glacial Changes in the Himalayan Region – This is a repeat of a request
that I made a month or so ago. I am in need of links to publications or
reports that describe changes that have been noted or have occurred in
the Himalayas in the past 30 years or so – especially those that have
been documented with remote sensing or field studies. Any leads would
sure be appreciated. Please contact me at gyde@.... Thank you in
advance for your kind assistance. Cheers.Gyde.
