| Moderator C: | Mahmudov Stanislav – Agency for Hydrometeorology of the Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan |
| Themes: | This session focuses on glacier and the management of glacier-lake outburst floods (GLOFs). Participants will discuss the latest research on glacier behavior, including the factors that contribute to the formation and growth of glacial lakes. The session will also explore effective strategies for monitoring glacial lakes, assessing the risk of GLOFs, and implementing early warning systems and mitigation measures to protect communities and infrastructure downstream. |
| 13:05-13:25 | o Topic 1: “Disaster Preparedness, Climate Change and Adaptation.” Simon Allen – Representative from Zurich University |
| 13:25-13:45 | o Topic 2: “Monitoring Impacts and Fatalities of GLOFs and Snow Avalanches: Ongoing Efforts in the HMA.” Arnaud Ceisarman – Senior Research Fellow/Assistant Director at Mountain Societies Research Institute (MSRI), University of Central Asia Graduate School of Development . |
| 13:45-14:05 | o Topic 3: “Glacial mudflows from the Barylmas glacier and their connection with changes in meteorological parameters.” Shomamadov Alisho – Senior Scientific Worker at the Center for Research of Glaciers of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan. |
| 14:05-14:25 | o Topic 4: “Monitoring of glacial lakes and glacial lake outburst floods in the territory of Tajikistan.” Jurabekov Tamlikho – Agency for Hydrometeorology of the Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan. |
