In August 2010 the Himalayan Region of Ladakh, Northwest India, experienced severe flash-flooding and mudslides, causing widespread death and destruction. The causes cited were climate change, karmic retribution, and the wrath of an agentive sentient landscape. Ladakhis construct, order and maintain the physical and moral universe through religious engagement with this landscape. The Buddhist monastic incumbents—the traditional mediators between the human world and the sentient landscape—explain supernatural retribution as the result of karmic demerit that requires ritual intervention. Social, economic, and material transformations have distorted the proper order, generating a physically and morally unfamiliar landscape. As a result, the mountain deities that act as guardians and protectors of the land below are confused and angry, sending destructive water to show their displeasure. Thus, the locally-contextualized response demonstrates the agency of the mountain gods in establishing a moral universe whereby water can give life and destroy it.

<p>The Model Of InTegrated Impact and Vulnerability Evaluation of climate change (MOTIVE) project (2014 - 2020) develops an integrated assessment platform including health, water (quantity and quality of water, aquatic ecology), agriculture (productivity, suitability, greenhouse-gas emissions), forest (net ecosystem exchanges, soil carbon content, landslide, forest fire), land-ecosystem (species diversity, habitat), ocean (flood area by the typhoon), and fishery (gross primary productivity, catch) sectors. The MOTIVE assesses the societal impact and vulnerability of climate change in the 2030s, 2050s, and 2080s. The 1 km high-resolution Representative Concentration Pathways climate scenarios (RCPs) are predicted by the dynamically downscaling from the Community Earth System Model (CESM) by Korea Environment Institute and the Unified Model (UM) by Korea Meteorological Administration. The user-friendly webpage is designed with the DataBase Management System (DBMS) to visualize the results of MOTIVE. This DBMS-MOTIVE aims to provide the scientific-knowledge for adaptation planning the local community to national scales. This study is supported by “Basic Study on Improving Climate Resilience” (2021-001-03), conducted by the Korea Environment Institute (KEI) upon the request of the Korea Ministry of Environment.</p>

The main aim of the project is to develop a new Database Information and Management System (DIMS) which is available and accessible online. Success of any modeling is embedded in using the perfect and adequate length of data. This is vital for studying or developing a scientific model for natural processes such as climate change and geo-hazards. Thus a geo-referenced meteorological, coastal and hydrological database for decision-making and policy formulation according to climate change impact has been developed. The objective of this study is to provide the DIMS that will allow sharing of climate change parameters that has impacted on the coast of selected countries. The methodology has online hosting of database combined with rapid data retrieval for both analytical and modeling functions. The outcome of the Web-GIS based DIMS would serve as a decision-support tool and aids for development of an integrated and sustainable management strategies for climate change and geo-hazards. The project has currently a database relevant to selected stations along the coasts of Malaysia, Singapore and India available on the project webpage www.globalclimate-engine.org. The project could be extended to cover the entire database pertaining to the in-land areas of these regions
