Monitoring and early warning system of Cirenmaco glacial lake in the central Himalayas
The Himalayas are home to many high-risk glacial lakes. Effective prevention of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in this region has recently become an urgent priority. As a major element of an integrated risk management strategy, the GLOF early warning system is a viable and promising tool for mitigating climate change-related risks. It prevents loss of life and reduces the economic and societal impacts of disasters. Within the framework of t…
Evaluation of Glacial Lakes and Catastrophic Floods on the Northern Slopes of the Kyrgyz Range
The changing climate in the 20th and 21st centuries has had a profound impact on glacial lake formation and downwasting. The rapid receding of glaciers due to increased atmospheric temperature has caused glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in the nival–glacial belt region on the northern slopes of the Kyrgyz mountain range over the last 20 years. Catastrophic events downstream due to GLOFs are increasing in this region and could affect the natur…
Changes in glacier extent and surface elevations in the Depuchangdake region of northwestern Tibet, China
Remote sensing data, including those from Landsat Thematic Mapper/Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (TM/ETM +), the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission Digital Elevation Model (SRTM4.1 DEM), and the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (Glas/ICESat), show that from 1991 to 2013 the glacier area in the Depuchangdake region of northwestern Tibet decreased from 409 to 393 km 2 , an overall loss of 16 km 2 , or 3.9% of …
A First-order Method to Identify Potentially Dangerous Glacial Lakes in a Region of the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau
Though glacial lake outburst floods have become an urgent issue on the Tibetan Plateau, no standardized methods have been proposed so far to identify and prioritize potentially dangerous glacial lakes (PDGLs). Here, we developed a first-order approach to identify PDGLs in the Boshula Mountain Range, southeastern Tibetan Plateau. Five variables—mother glacier area, distance between lake and glacier terminus, slope between lake and glacier, mean sl…
