论文摘要
在2019年4月和2019年5月，作为国家地理和Roxel永久行星珠穆朗玛峰探险的一部分，有史以来最跨学科的科学探险。这项研究确定了变化的动态，包括自然系统自然和人为变化引起的新兴风险。我们已经确定了对生态系统和人类健康，地质危害以及未来影响当地社区，登山者和徒步旅行者的气候状况的复杂风险。这篇综述汇集了整个生物，地质和健康科学的观点，以更好地了解珠穆朗玛峰和库姆岛地区的新兴风险。了解和减轻这些风险对于居住在昆布地区的约10,000人以及数以千计的来访徒步旅行者和数百名试图登顶的登山者至关重要。
In April and May 2019, as a part of the National Geographic and Roxel Perpetual Planet Everest Expedition, the most interdisciplinary scientific ever was launched. This research identified changing dynamics, including emergent risks resulting from natural and anthropogenic change to the natural system. We have identified compounded risks to ecosystem and human health, geologic hazards, and changing climate conditions that impact the local community, climbers, and trekkeers in the future. This review brings together perspectives from across the biological, geological, and health sciences to better understand emergent risks on Mt. Everest and in the Khumbu region. Understanding and mitigating these risks is critical for the ~10,000 people living in the Khumbu region, as well as the thousands of visiting trekkers and the hundreds of climbers who attempt to summit each year.
