Glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) modeling of Tsho Rolpa glacial lake, Nepal
Proceedings of IAHSAbstract. In recent decades, the Tsho Rolpa glacial lake has witnessed a significant increase in its surface area. Situated in the Eastern Himalayas at an elevation of 4552 m a.s.l. (meters above sea level), this lake has drawn attention due to the potential risks of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).

GLOF in the South Lhonak Lake, India: photogrammetric analysis and estimation
Journal of Water and Climate ChangeABSTRACT Understanding glaciers and glacial lake behaviors is crucial for assessing natural disasters; however, quantifying these changes remains challenging due to inaccessibility. Glacier melt and landslides can expand lakes, leading to catastrophic flooding.

Simulating seasonal evolution of subglacial hydrology at a surging glacier in the Karakoram
Journal of GlaciologyGlacier motion, retreat and glacier hazards such as surges and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are likely underpinned by subglacial hydrology. Recent advances in subglacial hydrological modeling allow us to shed light on subglacial processes that ...

Shaking up Assumptions: Earthquakes Have Rarely Triggered Andean Glacier Lake Outburst Floods
Geophysical Research LettersAs the world’s glaciers recede in response to a warming atmosphere, a change in the magnitude and frequency of related hazards is expected. Among the most destructive hazards are glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs), and their future evolution is ...

Sustainable flood hazard mapping with GLOF: A Google Earth Engine approach
Natural Hazards ResearchThis study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Google Earth Engine (GEE) in mapping floods and their aftermath, focusing on the recent event caused by cloud burst rainfall and glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) of Lhonak glacier lake in the Teesta River basin, North Sikkim. The objective is to utilize GEE, coupled with Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (
