*Annotation*

    Research into the dynamics of landform evolution in the East Nepal
Himalaya is intended to provide knowledge of the long-term integrity of
climate-driven morphogenetic and tectonic processes as an essential
phenomenon of active collisional orogeny. Landform patterns of the Makalu –
Barun region in the Himalaya are the result of orogenetic processes, as
well as the denudation and erosional efficiency under very variable
palaeoclimatic conditions during the late Cenozoic. Geomorphic processes
and landforms in the region between the Chomolongma and Makalu Massifs and
the Sapt Kosi lowland with an elevational gradient of over 8,000 m are
explored in relation to morphostructural patterns and in the framework of
extreme glacial, glacial and periglacial zones and the seasonally cold/warm
humid zone.

    The observed landform changes in the Nepal Himalaya on a decadal scale
indicate the high intensity of climate-driven morphogenetic processes,
especially very effective erosion and transport of weathered material by a
combination of diverse exogenic factors, integrated with active orogenetic
processes. The dynamic evolution of landforms in the Himalaya is also
essential evidence of the present-day severe natural hazards.
