TL;DR: Risks for public health should be limited, although a precautionary approach to risk assessment is here advocated, giving the preliminary nature of the presented data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the southern slopes of Mt Everest, analyzing the time series of temperature and precipitation reconstructed from seven stations located between 2660 and 5600 m asl during 1994-2013, complemented with the data from all existing ground weather stations located on both sides of the mountain range (Koshi Basin) over the same period.

TL;DR: The results obtained from the case study show that impervious urban surfaces and rainfall intensity are significant predictors of combined sewer overflows and consequently of the water quality of the receiving water body and reduction in imperviousness was found to be a suitable strategy to adapt to these scenarios.

TL;DR: In this article, a complete mapping of glacial lakes and debris-covered glaciers in the Mount Everest region is provided, where the authors confirm that the slope of the glacier where lakes are located is primarily responsible for the low flow velocity of this zone.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that TCC can play an important role in the management of protected areas only if it is viewed as a systematic, strategic policy tool within a planning process rather than as a unique, intrinsic number that is not modifiable.
