  • Die Topographie Des Changtse-Grates Bietet Die Gelegenheit, Den
    Techn. Wks.ß\latum. 9/5 - D 1607 Die Topographie des Changtse-Grates bietet die Gelegenheit, den Mt.-Everest-Aufbau aus größerer Höhe, aber genügender Entfernung - und damit günstiger Perspektive - zu beobachten und fotografisch zu dokumentieren. Nach 16tägigem Aufenthalt über 6 000 und 6 500 m ist es für die Dreiermannschaft des höchsten Camps wichtig, hinab ins Basislager zu kommen, denn die Erschöpfung ist nicht mehr aufiuhalten in diesen Höhen. Zwei Tage dauert der Abstieg auf dem Ost-Rongbuk-Gletscher. Gesteinsproben und Ausrüstung werden von der Yak-Karawane abgeholt. Das Wetter ist bis jetzt ungewöhnlich gut, so daß die Zeit durchgehend für Forschungsar- beiten genutzt werden konnte. Die günstigen Wetterbedingungen desJahres 1984 werden durch den Wintereinbruch mit Temperaturen von -40°C und schweren Schneestürmen arn 3. November 1985 in Tibet bestätigt. Am 5. November 1984 wird nach 50tägigen Untersuchungen am Mt. Everest auch das Basislager abgebrochen, und die Deutsch-Chinesische Gemeinschaftsexpedition wendet sich zurück nach Norden. Nach letzten Arbeiten im noch unverschneitenTibetischenHimalaya kehren die Teilneh- mer Mitte November nach Lhasa zurück.

Tibet, like most regions of the Himalayas, is divided into several distinct terrains and climates. Tibet is famous with the name of ‘Roof of the World’ and always in the media because of political crises.

    The religious and cultural heritage gifted by nature is Nepal Climate Resilient Cities and Urban Environmental Sustainability of Palungtar /Bhimeshwor and Bagamati NEPAL Deepak Babu Kandel ,Plantar Kamala Basnet ,Bhimeshor Lila Kumari Moktan ,Baghmati Nepal is located in the Himalayas and bordered to the north by the People’s Republic of China, and to the south, east, and west by the Republic of India. Nepal, in political maps, is one of the small countries in the world but has the amazingly diverse geography, landscapes, culture, and traditions. Nepal is rich in scenic beauty, water resources, and forest. The north part consists of a beautiful range of mountains always covered with snow. Nepal is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of bio-diversity due to its unique geographical position and altitude variation. The elevation of the country ranges from 60 meters above sea level to the highest point on earth, Mt. Everest at 8,848 meters, all within a distance of 150 kilometers resulting in climatic conditions from tropical and sub-tropical in the plains, temperate in the hills and Alpine in the Mountains. The level of urbanization in Nepal remains low but the pace of urbanization has remained faster and is likely to remain so in the future. Only 17.1% of Nepal’s population resided in 58 designated urban areas according to the 2011 census. However, with the addition of 159 municipalities in 2014/15, 40% of Nepal’s population reside in 217 designated urban areas. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes 17 SDGs and 169 associated targets.
