This research article presents a comprehensive review of the snow cover area, mass balance, glacial area loss, surface velocities, and the application of snowmelt runoff models in the Kashmir Himalayas and Upper Indus Basin. It finds that glaciers in these regions are experiencing significant ice loss and negative mass balance, with broader implications for water resources and ecosystems as climate change accelerates.

These data help in understanding towards gender-responsive strategies which is available from those who are alive.

The status of gender equity at universities is often evaluated via statistical data such as the proportions of women faculty members and students. However, given that women are still a minority in decision-making positions while gender parity has been achieved in most countries for students, simply increasing the proportion of women alone is not enough to ensure a truly gender-neutral (gender bias-free) academic climate on campuses, i.e., continuous efforts are required to create an environment that promotes the active participation of women.

By addressing the health, energy, urban, climate, and environmental aspects of air pollution and climate change, the article supports the achievement of SDG 13: Climate Action and SDG 15: Life on Land.
