- W3172735568 abstract "Climate change is strongly affecting the Himalayas. Geologically young and fragile, the Himalayas are sensitive to even minor changes in the climate. Regional warming in Himalayas has been observed between 0.15 and 0.60 °C per decade, which is higher than the mean global warming rate of 0.74 °C per 100 years. Consequent to this warming trend, the glaciological changes in Himalayas are obvious, which has resulted in the formation, expansion and disappearance of various types of glacial lakes. The dangerous lakes among these pose threat to downstream community and infrastructure. In this study, an attempt has been made to critically analyze the progress in Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOF) research and understand its dynamism from multiple approaches through a meta-analysis of peer-reviewed scholarly literature for a period of 2001–2020. The study has found that the glacial lakes in the study region are increasing in number and expanding rapidly owing to the climate change and anthropogenic causes as the Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) are becoming common. The expansion rates of pro-glacial lakes connected to glaciers and moraine-dammed lakes are faster than other type of lakes. Findings from the studies on area change analysis in the region reveal that a number of expanding glacial lakes can emerge as potential sites for future GLOFs, hence need immediate monitoring and observation. Geospatial tools and techniques coupled with field investigations have been found as a potent tool for mapping the evolution and propagation of GLOF hazards resulting from accelerated shrinking and thinning of glaciers and continued lake expansion. Further, the satellite-based remote sensing and modeling has been found as an excellent tool for GLOF management as well as reconstruction of previous GLOF events and prediction of future outburst potential. The idea of this study is linked to the increased incidence of GLOF events in the Himalayan region. This study will help in better understanding of glacial lake expansion and provide scope for future research in devising risk management action plans of potential GLOFs by selecting expanding glacial lakes as case studies." @default.
