Monitoring glacial lake outburst flood susceptibility using Sentinel-1 SAR data, Google Earth Engine, and persistent scatterer interferometry

Sonam Wangchuk et al.

Summary: Continuous monitoring of glacial lakes and their surroundings is crucial due to the risk of lake outburst floods. This study demonstrates the use of Sentinel-1 SAR data and PSI technique for monitoring lake outburst susceptibility and seasonal/periodic changes in glaciers and lakes. The approach has the potential to be applied to other geographic regions facing similar challenges in glacial lake monitoring.

Monitoring and early warning system of Cirenmaco glacial lake in the central Himalayas

Weicai Wang et al.

Summary: The Himalayas are home to many high-risk glacial lakes. The development and implementation of an early warning system (EWS) is an effective strategy for mitigating the risks of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). The Cirenmaco EWS, with its advanced monitoring elements and data transmission methods, serves as a successful demonstration for similar projects in the Himalayas.

High Mountain Asia hydropower systems threatened by climate-driven landscape instability

Dongfeng Li et al.

Summary: Climate change is worsening geohazards in High Mountain Asia, posing an increasing risk to hydropower and water infrastructure in the region. Melting and thawing of the cryosphere are altering water supply, affecting downstream food and energy systems. Building reservoirs to regulate water flow and generate hydropower is crucial, but vulnerable to various destabilizing processes.

Transition of a small Himalayan glacier lake outburst flood to a giant transborder flood and debris flow

Ashim Sattar et al.

Summary: GLOFs are a significant threat to the Himalayas, causing severe damage to downstream populations and infrastructures. Studying a specific event, it was found that the glacial lake outburst flood occured due to slope failure and the deposition of debris into the lake. The presence of pre-existing sediment from previous landslides amplified the event.

Glacial lake outburst flood hazard under current and future conditions: worst-case scenarios in a transboundary Himalayan basin

Simon K. Allen et al.

Summary: This study aims to demonstrate the assessment of the threat from a future lake and worst-case scenarios from current lakes, and how this information is relevant for disaster risk management. The results show that GLOF discharges from rock and/or ice avalanches could be much larger than previously observed or anticipated. The warning times in Nyalam are very limited. A comprehensive approach to disaster risk management is needed to address the current GLOF risk and consider worst-case catastrophic events.

Incorporating InSAR kinematics into rock glacier inventories: insights from 11 regions worldwide

Aldo Bertone et al.

Summary: Rock glaciers, sensitive to climate variability and change, play a critical role in water resource management and geohazard prevention. Remote sensing data and a common methodology are used to create standardized inventories for rock glaciers. This study demonstrates the feasibility of applying common rules proposed by the International Permafrost Association and the European Space Agency to characterize rock glaciers' kinematic behavior in 11 regions worldwide.

Isabelle Gaertner-Roer et al.

Summary: Digitized aerial images were used to monitor the evolution of frozen debris and glacier ice in the Swiss Alps. The study revealed contrasting developments in different environments and provided detailed spatio-temporal information on flow velocities and thickness changes. The findings have important implications for understanding the dynamic response of glaciers and frozen ground.

New high-resolution estimates of the permafrost thermal state and hydrothermal conditions over the Northern Hemisphere

Youhua Ran et al.

Summary: Monitoring the thermal state of permafrost is crucial for environmental science and engineering applications. This study presents novel permafrost datasets for the Northern Hemisphere, providing predictions of mean annual ground temperature and active layer thickness, as well as estimates of permafrost occurrence and zonation based on hydrothermal conditions. These datasets, integrated with extensive field and geospatial data, are more accurate than previous circumpolar maps. They contribute to an updated understanding of permafrost in the Northern Hemisphere and have potential applications in various fields.

Spatiotemporal variation in surface velocity in Chandra basin glacier between 1999 and 2017 using Landsat-7 and Landsat-8 imagery

Rakesh Sahu et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the surface velocity changes of four glaciers in the Chandra basin from 1999 to 2017, showing a significant decrease in surface velocity for Bara Shigri and Hamtah glaciers during the period of 2013-2017, while Gepang Gath glacier had a smaller reduction. Additionally, an investigation into the transverse velocity profile of the glaciers was conducted to determine the dominant factor influencing glacier movement.

Vinit Kumar et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the changes of a glacier in the western Himalayas of India from 1989 to 2017 using satellite datasets. The results showed significant ice volume and frontal area loss, with an uneven retreat rate. The proglacial lake area expanded by 44% and the equilibrium line altitude rose by 54 meters during the study period.

Sectorwise Assessment of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood Danger in the Indian Himalayan Region

Suraj Mal et al.

Summary: This study analyzed glacial lakes in the Indian Himalayan Region and transboundary lakes, assessing their hazard, exposure, and integrated danger levels. The findings indicate that Jammu and Kashmir is the most threatened region, with the greatest GLOF threat to roads and population, while Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim face the highest threat to cropland and hydropower, respectively. The results are important for policymakers, disaster management authorities, and the scientific community.

Increasing risk of glacial lake outburst floods from future Third Pole deglaciation

Guoxiong Zheng et al.

Summary: Global warming in high-mountain Asia is leading to deglaciation, increasing the risk of natural dam failure and glacial lake outburst floods. The eastern Himalaya currently faces the highest risk, which is expected to almost triple in the future due to further lake development. Collaborative, long-term approaches are urgently needed to mitigate future impacts and promote sustainable development across the Third Pole.

A massive rock and ice avalanche caused the 2021 disaster at Chamoli, Indian Himalaya

D. H. Shugar et al.

Summary: On February 7, 2021, a catastrophic mass flow hit the Ronti Gad, Rishiganga, and Dhauliganga valleys in Chamoli, Uttarakhand, India, causing extensive devastation and casualties. The collapse of rock and glacier ice led to a debris flow that transported large boulders and scoured valley walls, highlighting issues related to monitoring and sustainable development in high-mountain environments like the Himalayas.

Contrasting surface velocities between lake- and land-terminating glaciers in the Himalayan region

Jan Bouke Pronk et al.

Summary: Melting water from Himalayan glaciers sustains the flow of rivers such as the Ganges and Brahmaputra, but these glaciers are expected to be substantially impacted by climate change in the coming decades. Glaciers terminating into proglacial lakes exhibit higher total mass losses, but the mechanisms driving this ice loss in the Himalayas are not well understood yet. Ice-flow model experiments suggest that changes in the force balance at glacier termini are likely to play a key role in accelerating glacier flow in the region.
