This document contains the presentation by Rupal M. Brahmbhatt, A.V. Kulkarni, B.P. Rathore & et al on "Application of Remote sensing and GIS in glacier retreat: A case study of Warwan sub-basin, Chenab basin", presented at National Climate Research Conference, IIT Delhi, March 5-6, 2010. North Indian Rivers originating in higher reaches of Himalaya, receive significant amount of water from glacier melt. Therefore, extent and distribution of glacier in the basin can significantly influence availability of water in the river. The availability of water can be significantly influenced due to climate change. Studies carried out by IPCC suggests that the temperature of Earth
