Inventory and GLOF Susceptibility of Glacial Lakes in Hunza River Basin, Western Karakorum
Remote Sensing, 2021 Northern latitudes of Pakistan are warming at faster rate as compared to the rest of the country. It has induced irregular and sudden glacier fluctuations leading to the progression of glacial lakes, and thus enhancing the risk of Glacier Lake Outbursts ...

Surge dynamics and lake outbursts of Kyagar Glacier, Karakoram [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 The recent surge cycle of Kyagar Glacier, in the Chinese Karakoram, caused formation of an ice-dammed lake and subsequent glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) exceeding 40 million m3 in 2015 and 2016. GLOFs from Kyagar Glacier reached double this size in

Identification of Hazard and Risk for Glacial Lakes in the Nepal Himalaya Using Satellite Imagery from 2000–2015 [PDF]
, 2017 Glacial lakes in the Nepal Himalaya can threaten downstream communities and have large socio-economic consequences if an outburst flood occurs. This study identified 131 glacial lakes in Nepal in 2015 that are greater than 0.1 km ²and performed a first ...

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

Hazard assessment of glacial lake outburst floods from Kyagar glacier, Karakoram mountains, China [PDF]
, 2014 Kyagar glacier is located in the Chinese Karakoram mountains. The glacier tongue entirely blocks the riverbed in the upper Shaksgam valley and impounds a glacial lake, which was the source of several violent and disastrous glacial lake outburst floods ...

Reconstruction of the 1941 GLOF process chain at Lake Palcacocha (Cordillera Blanca, Peru) [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Abstract. The Cordillera Blanca in Peru has been the scene of rapid deglaciation for many decades. One of numerous lakes formed in the front of the retreating glaciers is the moraine-dammed Lake Palcacocha, which drained suddenly due to an unknown cause in 1941.
