The 27th Himalaya-Karakoram-Tibet Workshop 28th – 30th November, 2012
Kathmandu, Nepal
The Workshop Report
The 27th Himalaya-Karakoram-Tibet (HKT) workshop had been successfully conducted in Kathmandu, Nepal. It was held during November 28th-30th, 2012 at The Everest Hotel in Kathmandu Nepal. This workshop was organized jointly by Nepal Geological Society and the Department of Mines & Geology, Government of Nepal, and was supported by many national and international organizations and institutions including The Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS), the Tectonic Observatory, California Institute of Technology (CalTech, TO), Earth Observatory Singapore, Nanyang Techinological University and many others.
On 28th November, 2012, the Rt. Honorable President of the Federal Republic of Nepal, Dr. Ram Baran Yadav, inaugurated the workshop. The inauguration program was attended by about 400 which included participants, invited guests and media personnel. In his inaugural speech, the Rt. Honorable President said that proper understanding of the geologic phenomenon operating under our planet Earth is essential for the survival, prosperity and sustainability of not only the mankind, but also the all living beings on Earth. Highlighting the need of geological research for developing mineral resources and hydropower potentials in Nepal, he also expressed the concern over the receding glaciers in the Himalaya, Karakoram and Tibet regions as a result of global warming. He appreciated the active interest of the international geo-scientific community in the geological researches in the regions and expressed his hope that this workshop would benefit the people in this region and in other parts of the world. Dr. Dibya Ratna Kansakar, the Convener of the 27th HKT workshop, gave a glimpse of the size and scope of the workshop, and pointed out the need for more advanced geological research for prosperity, safety and sustainability of the people in the region. He said that “geology is also the ‘science of the foundation’ for the ‘foundation of economic development’ because economic sustainability is also a matter of how sustainable the physical infrastructures are and that geological investigations help in avoiding or protecting development infrastructures from geologic hazards. He also opined that geologic “past is the guide to the future” which is instrumental for mankind to equip for facing the consequences of global warming and climate change. Minister for Industries, Mr. Anil Kumar Jha, said that geological research in Nepal Himalaya has great role to play in the economic development through development of minerals and mining sector in Nepal. He highlighted the contribution of non-metallic and precious minerals sector in the national economy of Nepal. Mr. Uttam Bol Shrestha, President of Nepal Geological Society, welcomed the participants and the guests in the program and Mr. Sarbajit Prasad Mahato, Director General of Department of Mines & Geology, offered the vote of thanks to all the participants, guests and the sponsors of the workshop. During the inaugural program, the Rt. Honorable President of Nepal also handed over the Honorary Membership of Nepal Geological Society to Mr. Gopal Singh Thapa and Prof. Dr. Paul Tapponnier in recognition of their significant contributions in the advancement of geological research in Nepal and understanding of the Himalayan region.

The technical sessions of the workshop followed soon after the inauguration program. The technical sessions were structured into 16 oral presentation sessions and 3 poster sessions (Please refer to Annex 1). The papers were categorized under 5 main themes, namely (i) Regional Geology and Tectonics, (ii) Seismology and Seismo-Tectonics, (iii) Geo-hazards and Engineering Geology, (iv) Climate and Quaternary Geology, and (v) Environmental Geology (Please refer to Annex 1). The first day of the workshop was devoted on the theme of Regional Geology and Tectonics. All the sessions under this theme were dedicated to late Prof. Augusto Gansser, who had died aged 101 years recently. He was a Swiss geologist and adventurer whose explorations had led to new insights about the origins of the Himalaya and other mountain ranges and the sources of petroleum. The 27th HKT workshop session began with a dedication presentation by Prof. Nigel B.W. Harris from Oxford University, who highlighted a number of pioneering concepts that late Prof. Gansser had given to the geologists of the world. He was an honorary member of Nepal Geological Society.

For the Organizers, this is a matter of remarkable success and satisfaction.
During the workshop on Day 2, Prof. Erwin Appel from Tubingen University, Germany, made a short presentation about the 28th HKT workshop which is going to be hosted by him and his colleagues in Germany. On behalf of his organizing team, Prof. Appel invited all the participants, and through them to all other HKT geoscientists, to Tubingen University in 2013.
The 27th HKT workshop concluded with a valedictory session on 30th November. This program was chaired by the President of Nepal Geological Society, Mr. Uttam Bol Shrestha and co-chaired by Mr. Sarbajit Prasad Mahato, Director General of Department of Mines & Geology. This session began with a workshop report by the convener, Dr. Dibya Ratna Kansakar. He presented the facts and figures about the participation, paper presentations and the participation in the 4 field excursions which were organized as a part of the workshop. Among many sponsors, he highlighted the grant support from the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS) which was vital in bringing in the geoscientists from South Asian countries to the workshop. He reported that altogether 24 participants, 2 from Bangladesh, 17 from India and 5 from Pakistan have received financial supports, and that among them, 16 participants received partial travel grant which was received from the TWAS. He thanked all the participants, sponsors, and members of the organizing committee for their support, cooperation and understanding in making the event a grand success. The workshop concluded with the vote of thanks and appreciation by Mr. Sarbajit Mahato and Mr. Uttam Bol Shrestha, who also thanked all the participants, the advisory committee and the organizing committee members and the sponsors of the workshop.

Recipients of Financial Support among the Participants
Scientists and researchers in developing countries in general find it difficult to attend international conferences, seminars and workshops because of the financial constraints. It is even tougher when such events are held in developed countries because of high cost of living and travel. One of the main reason why Nepal Geological Society took the initiative and subsequently succeeded in convincing the international geoscientists community to host the 27th HKT workshop in Nepal was to narrow down the distance between the conference host country and the geoscientists so that the travel cost is low and living cost is affordable. In spite of these, many find it still hard to manage the fund required for travel, workshop registration and accommodation and food during the conference. Taking into consideration of these difficulties, Nepal Geological Society, being the lead organization, approached a number of national and international institutions requesting them for financial support in order that geoscientists from developing countries could attend the workshop in large number.
The 27th HKT organizers were successful in raising some fund in grants from some institutions and organization, and this fund was utilized in supporting the developing country participants, particularly the geoscientists from South Asian Countries in this case, by providing funds to pay their travel cost, workshop registration fee and accommodation, as the need was. In total, 23 participants were awarded financial support to participate in this workshop. These recipients were selected from a large number of participants who had requested for financial support. These participants were selected on the basis of their needs, their occupational status, quality of research of paper, and gender. Students, young scientists and women were given preference while awarding the funding support. Among the recipients were three women; one from Pakistan and two from India. According to occupational status, 3 were students, 2 junior scientists, and 3 Government Scientist Officers, and the remaining were university professors and lecturers.
The financial support was provided as per their needs and their capacity to manage fund other sources. However, the Organizers had also provided support to some prominent geoscientists from South Asia whose presence was important and who could add much value to the workshop through their presentation and their contribution in the scientific discussions. Some participants were provided with only the travel cost, while some were given travel and

accommodation. A very few participants were provided with a full cost support, i.e. travel, registration fee and accommodation.

Recipients of TWAS Travel Grant A total of 15 participants from South Asian Countries have benefitted from a travel grant support which was received by the organizers from The Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS), Trieste, Italy. They were 11 participants from India, 3 from Pakistan and 1 from Bangladesh. The recipients were selected based on their need as expressed in the request for support, the quality of research work and the geographic representation of the research area, their occupational status and gender representation. Effort was made to encourage as many students and junior scientists as possible while selecting the candidates for travel grant support. Adequate preference was also given to women candidates while offering the travel and/or other financial support to the candidates. Among the recipients, there were 3 students, 1 junior researcher, 7 professors, 1 lecturer, 1 government officer and 1 professional society representatives. There was also one female student.

The 27th HKT workshop held in Kathmandu is a great success for several reasons. Firstly, this workshop turned out to a huge gathering of geoscientists from all over the world. A total of 126 international geoscientists, representing 17 different countries from Asia, Europe, and North America participated in it. Besides the foreign scientists, an even larger contingent of Nepalese geoscientists, engineers, practitioners and students, a total of 190 in number, could participate in this workshop. Secondly, it was a gathering of not only the prominent geoscientists but also the young researchers and students from these countries. There was also a good size of women geoscientists in this gathering. Thirdly, there was a good sense of partnership between the Nepalese and foreign geoscientist in the organization of the workshop and the field excursions. The field excursions were designed and conducted jointly by the Nepalese and foreign expert geoscientist and shared their current findings and their knowledge with the participants in the field excursions. Last but not the least, this workshop saw a very significant number of participation from the Asian countries - home of the Himalaya, Karakorum and Tibet Region, the main area of the workshop topic. Instrumental to bringing in such a large number of participants to this workshop has been the generous financial support received from several national and international organizations and institutions. Among them, The Academy of Sciences for the Third World, the Tectonic Observatory at California Institute of Technology (CalTech, TO), Earth Observatory in Singapore at Nanyang Techinological University have been most noteworthy. Without their grant supports, which were utilized in subsidizing the workshop participation costs and paying their travel accommodation bills, participation of such a large number of geoscientists from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal would not have been possible. The Organizers of the 27th HKT workshop acknowledge and appreciate the support received from these and many other institutions. Annex 1: Detailed program of the 27th HKT Workshop, Kathmandu, Nepal
