Abstract During the monsoon of 1956 the Geological Survey of India sponsored an expedition to the Bara Shigri Glacier (lat. 32° 16′N., long. 77° 40′E), Kangra District, in the great Himalayan ranges of the Punjab, as part of the Indian programme for the International Geophysical Year 1956–57. Topographical maps of the terminal 3 miles of the glacier, on scales of 1:63.360 and 1:10,000, were prepared for comparison of morphological changes since it was last surveyed 50 years ago. The glacier appears to have shrunk considerably but its full extent could not be assessed because of insufficient earlier data. The Shigri Stream now emerges from a different part of the glacier snout. In order to assist future surveys three photographic stations were established.

Whole Heliosphere Interval

AbstractThe Whole Heliosphere Interval is an international observing and modeling effort to characterize the three-dimensional interconnected solar-heliospheric-planetary system, i.e., the “heliophysical” system. WHI was part of the International Heliophysical Year, on the 50th anniversary of the International Geophysical Year, and benefited from hundreds of observatories and instruments participating in IHY activities. WHI describes the 3-D heliosphere originating from solar Carrington Rotation 2068, March 20–April 16, 2008. The focus of IAU JD16 was on analyses of observations obtained during WHI, and simulations and modeling involving those data and that period. Consideration of the WHI interval in the context of surrounding solar rotations and/or compared to last solar minimum was also encouraged. Our goal was to identify connections and commonalities between the various regions of the heliosphere.
