GLACIAL LAKE EVOLUTION BASED ON REMOTE SENSING TIME SERIES: A CASE STUDY OF TSHO ROLPA IN NEPAL
Himalayan glaciers have retreated rapidly in recent years. Resultant glacial lakes in the region pose potential catastrophic threats to downstream communities, especially under a changing climate. The potential for Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) has increased and studies have assessed the risk...
