Today, the PAMIR team met in Dushanbe to officially marke its successful conclusion at a symposium hosted by the Swiss Cooperation Office in Tajikistan. The international and local research teams unveiling a suite of scientific accomplishments that together build a new baseline to understanding of the functioning of the Pamir mountain system, and projecting its changes.
Beyond the intensive data collection over the past four field seasons, PAMIR has invested in the next generation of Tajik glaciologists, providing hands-on training in advanced geophysical and laboratory techniques. Now, as Tajikistan leads the UN’s “Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences,” the PAMIR project’s results will be integrated into national plans, and will inform international initiatives. The symposium opened the door to next research efforts and collaborations with Tajik governmental agencies, ensuring that the scientific momentum continues through the next decade of climate adaptation.
