Abstract:
Weight loss is a well-known phenomenon at high altitude. It is not clear whether the negative energy balance is due to anorexia only or an increased energy expenditure as well. The objective of this study was to gain insight into this matter by measuring simultaneously energy intake, energy expenditure, and body composition during an expedition to Mt. Everest. Subjects were two women and three men between 31 and 42 yr of age. Two subjects were observed during preparation at high altitude, including a 4-day stay in the Alps (4,260 m), and subsequently during four daytime stays in a hypobaric chamber (5,600–7,000 m). Observations at high altitude on Mt. Everest covered a 7- to 10-day interval just before the summit was reached in three subjects and included the summit (8,872 m) in a fourth. Energy intake (EI) was measured with a dietary record, average daily metabolic rate (ADMR) with doubly labeled water, and resting metabolic rate (RMR) with respiratory gas analysis. Body composition was measured before and after the interval from body mass, skinfold thickness, and total body water. Subjects were in negative energy balance (-5.7 +/- 1.9 MJ/day) in both situations, during the preparation in the Alps and on Mt. Everest. The loss of fat mass over the observation intervals was 1.4 +/- 0.7 kg, on average two-thirds of the weight loss (2.2 +/- 1.5 kg), and was significantly correlated with the energy deficit (r = 0.84, P < 0.05). EI on Mt. Everest was 9–13% lower than during the preparation in the Alps.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract:
If the top of Mount Everest sounds a safe bet for those in search of solitude and tranquility, think again. On May 12th this year so many climbers were waiting to reach the summit that a queue formed. By the end of the day 32 people had stood on top of the world. More climbers conquered Everest this year than in the quarter century after Hillary and Tenzing's first ascent in 1953. Base camp at the foot of the mountain was particularly crowded and squalid; unseemly fights broke out between mountaineers from different countries. Even halfway up the mountain the squabbling continued. Leaders of teams from New Zealand and America complained that a group of Russians had strayed from their designated route and cut in front of them.

Abstract:
Late Permian gastropod fauna in the Mt. Everest (Qomolangma) region, southern Tibet (Xizang), China is poorly known. This paper describes a small gastropod fauna collected by one of the authors (SSZ) from the upper part of the Qubuerga Formation at the Qubu section. The section is located at about 30 km north of Mt. Everest (Fig. 1). Although a limited number of specimens is available, the fauna is more diverse than all previously reported gastropod faunas (e.g., Yu, 1975) from southern Tibet. Description of the gastropod fauna in the Mt. Everest region adds significant data for understanding the distribution of gastropods during the Late Permian and the paleobiogeographic relationship between the Himalayan and Tethyan regions.

Abstract:
Alexander M. Kellas (1868–1921) was a British physiologist who made pioneering contributions to the exploration of Everest and to the early physiology of extreme altitudes, but his physiological contributions have been almost completely overlooked. Although he had a full-time faculty position at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School in London, he was able to make eight expeditions to the Himalayas in the first two decades of the century, and by 1919 when the first official expedition to Everest was being planned, he probably knew more about the approaches than anybody else. But his most interesting contributions were made in an unpublished manuscript written in 1920 and entitled “A consideration of the possibility of ascending Mount Everest.” In this he discussed the physiology of acclimatization and most of the important variables including the summit altitude and barometric pressure, and the alveolar PO2, arterial oxygen saturation, maximal oxygen consumption, and maximal ascent rate near the summit. On the basis of this extensive analysis, he concluded that “Mount Everest could be ascended by a man of excellent physical and mental constitution in first-rate training, without adventitious aids [supplementary oxygen] if the physical difficulties of the mountain are not too great.” Kellas was one of the first physiologists to study extreme altitude, and he deserves to be better known.

Full text
Abstract:
Mt. Everest region in the central Himalaya is one of the most heavily glacierized parts of the Himalaya that is characterized by large debris-covered glaciers and many glacial lakes. The glaciers and ice are important sources of fresh water and play vital role in modulating the climate and the hydrological process. Previous studies from different parts of the Himalaya and around the world have revealed climate change at regional and global-scale and in general, shrinking of glaciers and ice caps. Climate change is thus, expected to impact in many ways to Cryosphere, hydrological process, and human livelihood. Temperature is often suggested to be increasing and considered as the main driver of change, however, in the higher elevations where the glaciers exist, climatic data are rarely available and limiting the climate related interpretation. This study is therefore conducted with the aim of linking variation of glaciers, glacial lakes, and river flow to local climatic trends in the higher elevations of Mt. Everest region. The study uses a comprehensive multi-temporal data from different sources: satellite observations, ground hydro-meteorological stations, and regular gridded and reanalysis climate data from the regional and global products (1960s to 2013). First, using the weather data from ground stations, gridded, and reanalysis products, the climatic trends and climate variability are evaluated. From 1979 to 2013, temperature has increased by 0.052 °C a-1, while the precipitation has shown an increasing tendency in 1960s to early 1990s and significantly decreasing afterward. During 1994–2013 period, at an elevation of ~ 5000 m, minimum temperature (0.072 ± 0.011 °C a-1) has increased more than maximum temperature (0.009 ± 0.012 °C a-1), with an average temperature increase of 0.044 ± 0.008 °C a-1 in the last two decades. The increases in the temperature are observed during the pre- and post-monsoon months, favouring melting ice close to the glacier terminus. At the same elevation, precipitation has significantly decreased (-9.3 ± 1.8 mm a-1) for all months, corresponding to a loss of 47 % during the monsoon. Second, the glacier changes are studied within the Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest) National Park (SNP; glacier area: ~ 400 km2) between 1962 and 2011, using multi-temporal optical satellite imagery, assisted by topographic maps. During the period, glaciers have experienced a surface area loss of 13.0 ± 3.1 %, an average terminus retreat of 403 ± 9 m, a Snow-Line Altitude (SLA) upward shifting of 182 ± 22 m, and an increasing of debris- covered area by 17.6 ± 3.1 %. An accelerated rate of glacier shrinkage is observed after the 1990s, which is caused not only due to increased temperature, but also as a result of a significant decreasing precipitation over the last decades. Moreover, selected glaciers have indicated a significant decreasing glacier flow velocities from the 1990s to recent year and a significant loss of glacier thickness (0.73 ± 0.63 m a-1) in the last decade. Third, a complete mapping and characterization of a total of 624 glacial lakes with surface area of 7.43 km2 (±18 %) are conducted in the SNP, with particular focus on conditions related to the formation of lakes using 2008 satellite imagery. Further, evolutions of glacial lakes are examined using the satellite imagery and topographic maps between 1963 and 2013. Three types of glacial lakes (supra, pro, and unconnected) present in the SNP have their distinctive potential to explain the glaciological and climatic conditions. Results show that the slope of the glacier where lakes are located influence the supraglacial lake formation. Furthermore, the slope to glacier upstream favours the formation of the supraglacial lakes, as a boundary condition. The formation of proglacial lakes is related to the growing and coalescing of the supraglacial lakes. The unconnected lakes are evaluated as a useful indicator of precipitation trend. During the study period (1960s–2011), both number and surface area of supraglacial lakes has continuously increased (number +109.7 %; area +13.3 %) with an accelerated rate in the last decade due to increase in the glacier melting. Proglacial lakes are more or less constant in both numbers and size, except Imja Lake that have exceptionally increased, while the surface area of unconnected lakes has increased from 1960s–1990s (+4.3 %) and decreased from early 1990s afterward (-10.9 %). The thesis has shown that the accelerated rate of glacier shrinkage and the decreasing of the unconnected lakes in the last decades are associated to decreasing precipitation. Supraglacial lakes behaviour confirms the acceleration of the negative mass balance of glaciers due to the reduced ice velocities caused by decreased precipitation. Finally, the hydrological dynamics of the Dudh Koshi river examined by stochastic frequency analysis, physically-based hydrological models, and multilinear regression using river discharge data and climate data. The analysis suggests that the Dudh Koshi river discharge is mainly dependent on precipitation from 1960s to 2000s, however a non-stationarity in the river discharge is observed since the early 2000s, indicating increased discharge, not justifiable by the observed weakening monsoon. The study concludes by underlining that an accelerated glacier melting as observed through the glacier change analysis affects an increasing of the discharge.

Abstract:

 

In an organisation, escalation of commitment represents behaviour of decision makers who become committed to failing courses of action. This behaviour usually derives from the decision makers’ reluctance to acknowledge their failed action in the initial allotment of time and resources, and thus taking actions to manifest their prior decision were correct and they will be achieving the planned goal.

 

In a single day of 1996 during a climbing expedition destined to summit Mt Everest, eight people lost their lives, including the climbing team leaders, in part due to the decision made that led to the teams to engage in escalation behaviour.  The climbing teams in the 1996 Mt Everest expedition serve as examples of temporary organisations in an extreme setting. The purpose of the research is to explore insights on the aspects promoting escalation on the Mt Everest tragedy and shed some light into how escalation manifests in temporary organisations. The factors that might be found will be applicable only to this particular case; nevertheless they might contribute on the overall development of how escalation comes about in temporary organisations. The research question of this study is how aspects promoting escalation where present in the 1996 Mt. Everest expedition?

 

For many years different theories attempted to explain the factors that promote escalation behaviour. The most important theories were combined together into a theoretical framework developed by Staw and Ross (1987a), which contains four major determinants of commitment in escalation: project, psychological, social and organisational. This framework is applied in this qualitative study based on the 1996 Mt Everest case. The study was executed through the analysis of the firsthand accounts of the survivors and observers present on the mountain that year as well as mass media outputs, the framework of escalation was used as an assistance tool for making sense of the findings the research may produce.

 

The results of the study managed to place the line of events in the determinants framework and identified all four types of determinants of commitment taking place through the progress of the expedition. A new organisational determinant of commitment was found (pursuit of enterprise growth) which yielded significant practical implications and might also lead the way for future research on escalation of commitment in temporary organisations.

Abstract:
The aim of this dissertation is to assess the political ecology of conservation governance and management of Sagarmatha (Mount Everest) National Park (SNP), SNP Buffer Zone (BZ) and the Buffer Zone Community Forest User Groups (BZCFUG) in Pharak in northeastern Nepal. It evaluates their performance in two adjacent regions (Khumbu and Pharak) from multiple perspectives, including the views of the residents (indigenous Sherpa people and minority immigrant community members), and the standards of current international conservation and human rights policies. This research is important because it relates to global, regional, national and local level conservation policies and practices, which have direct impacts on biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation, the livelihoods of indigenous peoples and local communities, and rights. The discussion of buffer zone community forest in the Pharak region follows my M.Sc. thesis completed at the University of Wales, UK in 2000. This dissertation draws on my 2011 fieldwork and my long-time experience growing up in this region and working there for conservation and development organizations. I conducted qualitative research adopting field observation, semi-structured and focus group interviews and participating in BZ and BZCFUGs' meetings. I observe that implementation of CFUG, BZCFUG and buffer zone management programs (BZMP) in Pharak and BZMP in Khumbu have made significant progress towards achieving conservation of forests, habitats, wildlife species and sustainable production of forest products while reinstituting forest and natural resource use and improving management and governance rights. This suggests that community participation in forest commons and natural resource management and governance through devolution and decentralization of decision-making rights can achieve biodiversity conservation goals. By integrating indigenous peoples' and local communities' cultural and religious perspectives with scientific knowledge, a synergy can be achieved that benefits conservation. For this the free, prior and informed consent of the concerned indigenous peoples and local communities is prerequisite. Conservation goals need to consider the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities and meet their aspirations and international conservation standards of self-determination and autonomy.

Abstract:
AbstractThe unique diversity of the world’s highest flora and fauna is a sacred landscape for the resident Sherpa communities, but climate change has been casting a threatening shadow over World Heritage Sagarmatha (Mt Everest) National Park (SNP) for years, causing rapid and pronounced impacts. Tourism is a key driver to the local economy but is exacerbating the impacts of climate change. Through extensive community and individual surveys in major villages, combined with a wealth of data from other studies, we focus on how the impacts of climate change and tourism development can be countered by measures at the local level. We identified two sources of conflict that need to be addressed: (1) conflict between tourism businesses and park management and (2) a lack of awareness of the need for an overarching conservation strategy among residents and stakeholders. To solve these issues, site management needs considerable enforcement and support from the State Party.
