Papers in progress

For all published papers, see: http://www.crustal.ucsb.edu/projects/nepal/research.php

Gabet et al - Modern erosion rates in the High Himalayas of Nepal

Huntington et al - Topography, exhumation pathway, age uncertainties, and the interpretation of thermochronometer data

Pratt-Sitaula - PhD Thesis 2005 (in the process of publication)

 

Final Vetted Weather Data (Version December 3, 2006)(all files are zipped)
--the only changes from August 2005 are some additional 2003-2004 rain and trh files that were acquired from Tank

--the only remaining data that is not in final form is tower station wind (talk to Jaakko directly if you have need of this)
