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.

Glof Study in Tawang River Basin, Arunachal Pradesh, India [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2014 Abstract. Glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) is one of the major unexpected hazards in the high mountain regions susceptible to climate change. The Tawang river basin in Arunachal Pradesh is an unexplored region in the Eastern Himalayas, which is impending to produce several upcoming hydro-electric projects (HEP). The main source of the river system is
