Probability of glacial lake outburst flooding in the Himalaya
Resources, Environment and Sustainability, 2021 The present study aims to determine the probability of glacial lake outburst flooding (GLOF) in the Himalaya. Here, a total of 4198 glacial lakes with larger dimensions (>0.01 km2) were considered. A fusion between Object-based classification (OBC) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied for unbiased results, involving the fifteen most ...
