That: The Impact Of Climate Change On Human

This new research fills a critical knowledge gap about the health and status of high-mountain environments, which are incredibly difficult to study due to the inhospitable environmental conditions.

Glaciers like those on Everest provide one-fifth of the global population with a steady supply of freshwater around the world. But due to the extreme conditions of these high mountains, until now little information has existed about the impacts of climate change at elevations above 5, meters.

Microplastic pollution near the highest point on Earth is a direct result of increased tourism and waste accumulation.

A large proportion of that waste is made out of nonbiodegradable plastic. The new data highlight that the collected snow samples had significantly more microplastics compared to the stream samples, with the majority of microplastics Clinate fibrous. Results from the highest weather stations in the world demonstrate that the majority of precipitation to the Mount Everest region is sourced in the Bay of Bengal, highlighting the importance of atmospheric circulation to high mountain glaciers.

In April and Mayan international, multidisciplinary team of scientists conducted the most comprehensive single scientific expedition to Mount Everest in the Khumbu Region of Nepal, as part of the National Geographic and Rolex partnership.

Team members from eight countries, including 17 Nepali researchers conducted trailblazing research in five areas of science that are critical to understanding environmental changes and their impacts: biology, glaciology, meteorology, geology and mapping. Scientists now are utilizing the samples and data they collected during the Expedition to gain unique insights into how climate change and human populations are affecting even the highest reaches of our planet. Even the highest glaciers on Earth are reeling from human activity around the globe.
