"Satellite images reveal that the elevation at which #snow accumulates on the #Himalayan mountains is rising at abnormal rates.
Furthermore, it's suspected that much of the snow's disappearance is due to sublimation, not melting. This means more snow evaporates into the air, instead of turning to #water and running down the mountains. As Earth Observatory described, the snow is almost "vanishing into thin air.""

Another road another day another valley to explore after another mountain pass!
My gf has decided that her old, broken car is going to the scrap heap, and she doesn't plan to replace it.
This means much more motorcycling for me! Which is kinda fun, but I'm less certain as to how well the #motoguzzi will handle winter on our roads.
I'm very tempted to get a #royalenfield #Himalayan which I don't mind "ruining"...
Not sure what to do.
Agroecology project run by the Himalayan Permaculture Centre in multiple villages & districts of Western Nepal since 2011. Focussed on agroecology demonstration, training & resource production (seed, seedlings, training materials, etc.) and production of "barefoot consultants" - agroecology farmer trainers & designers.
