First published in 1984, this volume and its companion relate to
the work of a group of 70 scientists from Britain, China, Pakistan,
Switzerland and the USA who visited the highest mountains in the
world during the summer of 1980 to conduct a series of
inter-related studies. Supported by the leading learned societies
and professional institutions in Britain, China and Pakistan, and
by government agencies in these countries, the International
Karakoram Project was an expedition that fused several individual
topics in the earth sciences into a unified and single study of the
world's most chaotic, unstable landform. The whole project was
promoted as the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Royal
Geographical Society. This volume details many of the techniques,
systems, instrumentation and methods of analysis used on the
Project, whilst Volume 2 concentrates on the results obtained by
the scientists during the course of the Project.
