In this roundtable, researchers from the most comprehensive scientific expedition to Mt. Everest in history will discuss new findings into the health of the cryosphere in the Himalaya and the significant impacts facing the region as a result of the global climate crisis. Early results from the Everest Expedition will be published in a special issue of One Earth in late November, with additional results debuting at the AGU meeting. The roundtable will provide a clear and comprehensive picture of what's at stake for the iconic and vital mountain regions that provide water resources to nearly 2 billion people around the world.
