Multisensor Fusion and Deep Learning Approaches for Semantic Segmentation of Glacial Lakes: A Comparative Study for Coastal Hydrology Applications

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Monitoring glacial lakes is critical for assessing climate change impacts and mitigating glacial lake outburst flood risks. This study evaluates three deep learning architectures, U-Net, simple convolutional neural network (CNN), and atrous spatial ...

The 1994 Lugge Tsho Glacial Lake Outburst Flood, Bhutan Himalaya

Mountain Research and Development, 1996
It is known that the Kingdom of Bhutan is subject to dangerous glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). Gansser (1966, 1970), for example, described the GLOFs in northern Bhutan, and proposed to take measures to minimize the risks (Gansser, 1970, 1978). However, unfortunately, little effort has been made and a catastrophic outburst of two glacial lakes in

Expansion and outburst process of Aksu Kule Lake in the Kunlun Mountains, Qinghai‒Tibet Plateau

Advances in Climate Change Research
Rapid lake expansion and sudden outburst events have emerged as critical hydrological phenomena on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP), reshaping endorheic basins and threatening downstream ecosystems and communities.

A POSSIBLE TSUNAMI IN THE LABRADOR SEA RELATED TO THE DRAINAGE OF GLACIAL LAKE AGASSIZ ~8400 YEARS B.P. [PDF]

, 2005
For thousands of years, the thick Laurentide Ice Sheet covered a large part of northern North America, damming northward-draining rivers. As this ice retreated, large lakes formed along its margin.

Impacts of \u3ci\u3eYartsa Gunbu\u3c/i\u3e Harvesting on Alpine Ecosystems in the Barun Valley, Makalu-Barun National Park, Nepal [PDF]

, 2020
Around 2003, the highly valuable medicinal fungi Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Nepali: yartsa gunbu) began to be commercially harvested in the remote Barun valley of the Makalu-Barun National Park and Buffer Zone, eastern Nepal. Since then, an estimated 3,000

Monitoring glacier evolution and assessing glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) susceptibility in the Bolivian Andes

Journal of Glaciology
Continued deglaciation in the Bolivian Andes threatens regional water security and may result in increased exposure to geohazards. We analyse high spatial resolution (∼3–5 m) satellite imagery to constrain annual glacier and glacial lake evolution across

Potential threats of glacial lake changes to the Sichuan-Tibet Railway

Journal of Glaciology
The Sichuan-Tibet Railway, China's second inland railway to Tibet, is currently being constructed and will run between Chengdu and Lhasa. It will cross the southeastern Tibetan Plateau and be surrounded by glacial lakes, some of which may pose a threat ...

Monitoring and Disaster Assessment of Glacier Lake Outburst in High Mountains Asian Using Multi-Satellites and HEC-RAS: A Case of Kyagar in 2018

Remote Sensing
The glaciers in the High Mountain Asia (HMA) region are highly vulnerable to global warming, posing significant threats to downstream populations and infrastructure through glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs).
