The Himalaya Dilemma: Navigating Risk, Vulnerability, and Resilience in Geohazard-Prone Regions is a collaborative effort to explore and understand the multiple dangers the Himalayas face, including landslides, earthquakes, glacial lake outburst floods, terrain instability, anthropogenic landscape alterations, and ecosystem fragility. Often called the "Roof of the World" and the "Third Pole," the Himalayas are among Earth's most breathtaking yet geologically active mountain ranges. While these majestic peaks inspire awe, they also conceal a complex interplay of geological risks, environmental challenges, and socioeconomic vulnerabilities.
