Sundarban mangroves: diversity, ecosystem services and climate change impacts [PDF]

, 2016
The Bengal delta coast harboring the famous Sundarban mangroves is extremely vulnerable to climate change. Already, salinity intrusion, increasing cyclones and anomalies in rainfall, and temperature, are causing many social and livelihood problems ...

Environmental changes of Nepal Himalaya in terms of GLOF phenomena

Journal of Nepal Geological Society, 2016
 As in the othe parts of Nepal, the environment of the Greater Himalaya is also rpidly changing with huge impacts on glacier, glacial lakes and GLOF occurrences. This paper briefly describes the environmental changes and GLOF characteristics in Nepal Himalaya.

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).

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

Oceanographic Weather Maps: Using Oceanographic Models to Improve Seabed Mapping Planning and Acquisition [PDF]

, 2013
In a world of high precision sensors, one of the few remaining challenges in multibeam echosounding is that of refraction based uncertainty. A poor understanding of oceanographic variability can lead to inadequate sampling of the water mass and the ...

GLOFNet -- A Multimodal Dataset for GLOF Monitoring and Prediction

Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) are rare but destructive hazards in high mountain regions, yet predictive research is hindered by fragmented and unimodal data. Most prior efforts emphasize post-event mapping, whereas forecasting requires harmonized datasets that combine visual indicators with physical precursors.

Progressively smaller glacier lake outburst floods despite worldwide growth in lake area

Nature Water
Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) may originate from larger lakes as these continue to grow with ongoing glacier retreat; however, this perception remains poorly supported in available GLOF databases.

Increasing glacial lake outburst flood hazard on the eastern Tibetan Plateau and implications for the Sichuan–Tibet Railway

Environmental Research Letters
Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are a severe natural hazard on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, posing a risk to infrastructure safety (e.g. the Sichuan–Tibet Railway) and regional socioeconomic development.
