Triangulating Glacier Expertise: Interdisciplinary Exchange and Collaboration between the Himalayas and the Alps

Date:

8 September 2025 - 9 September 2025

Location:

Center for Advanced Studies Seestr. 13 80802 Munich

Workshop organized by Dr. Anna-Maria Walter (CAS Researcher in Residence/LMU).

The workshop explores collaborative approaches towards glaciers in the Karakorum-Himalayas and the Alps. What can we learn from triangulating data, methods, and theories as well as researchers’ positionality and disciplinary traditions? What kind of twists and turns does local knowledge take when it seeks to reach the international scientific community?

Participants include Suryanarayanan Balasubramanian (CAS Fellow/ Acres of Ice), Zakir Hussain (CAS Fellow/University of Baltistan), Felix Keller (ETH Zürich).

Anna-Maria Walter is CAS Researcher in Residence during the summer semester 2025.
