A spatially constrained remote sensing-based inventory of glacial lakes worldwide [PDF]
Scientific DataClimate change accelerates the extensive retreat of glaciers, leading to the widespread development of glacial lakes. A holistic picture of the spatial distribution of glacial lakes worldwide is a critical base for tracking the outburst hazards.

Automated mapping of glacial lakes in Himachal Pradesh using multi source remote sensing data and machine learning [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe Himalayas are undergoing active climate-induced changes, resulting in glacial lake formation and expansion. Glacial lakes are important reservoirs of freshwater but also run the risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).

Glacial Lake Area Change and Potential Outburst Flood Hazard Assessment in the Bhutan Himalaya
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Against the background of climate change-induced glacier melting, numerous glacial lakes are formed across high mountain areas worldwide. Existing glacial lake inventories, chiefly created using Landsat satellite imagery, mainly relate to 1990 onwards ...
