Glacier Monsoon Interaction

Glacier monsoon interaction refers to how the monsoon weather patterns influence glaciers, particularly in regions like the Himalayas. During the monsoon season, heavy rainfall can lead to increased melting of glaciers. While this can supply rivers with freshwater, it also raises concerns about glacial stability and potential flooding. Conversely, glacial meltwater feeds rivers during dry months, supporting ecosystems and agriculture. This interaction highlights the delicate balance between climate, water resources, and the environment, emphasizing the importance of understanding these processes in the context of climate change and water management.
