Welcome to the 25th annual Himalaya-Karakoram-Tibet Workshop home page.
For a quarter-century the Himalayan-Karakoram-Tibet Workshop has provided students of the India-Asia collision system a wonderful opportunity for workshop-style discussion with other colleagues working in this region. In 2010, HKT returns to North America for the first time since 1996. The 25th International Workshop will be held from 7-13th June at San Francisco State University, California - please mark your calendar and plan to attend! Following the format of previous workshops, thematic oral and poster sessions will occur within a single venue to avoid the distraction of parallel sessions.
All workshop updates will appear on this web site as soon as they are available. Please e-mail hkt25sf@gmail.com to communicate with the workshop organizers.
