The Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) is set to make history with the inauguration of the Space Applications and Research Center (SPARC-GB) in Gilgit-Baltistan on October 02. According to an official source, this pioneering event, to be attended by distinguished scientists, environmental experts, and students, will mark a significant milestone in the nation’s journey toward space and environmental research. Chief Minister of Gilgit-Baltistan, Gulbar Khan, will be the chief guest of the ceremony. This center represents SUPARCO’s growing efforts to implement space technology and environmental monitoring across Pakistan, with a particular focus on Gilgit-Baltistan’s unique challenges. Its geography makes it susceptible to climate change and natural hazards, necessitating innovative solutions for better understanding the region’s vulnerabilities. SPARC-GB aims to advance space-based environmental research that addresses these urgent challenges. The center will function as a research hub, concentrating on crucial areas such as glacier monitoring, climate change mitigation, and disaster management. It will facilitate cutting-edge studies on glacier dynamics, natural hazards, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable resource management. By promoting collaboration among scientists, students, and experts, SPARC-GB is poised to become a leading institution in tackling some of the region’s most critical environmental issues.
