Dendrochronology and climate change study in Nepal: A preview

The needs for advanced studies on impacts of climate change have been realised. In this study, the major focus is on changing climatic pattern and increasing natural hazards and its environmental consequences in Nepal. The climatic records of Nepal extend back to a relatively short period and may not adequately represent the range of natural climatic variability. Long term climatic data is needed to understand ongoing climate change phenomenon. In recent decades, dendrochronological data have been widely used in the world as a long term, high resolution, proxy of climate change
