“Can we develop a first-order understanding of permafrost degradation and glacial lakes exposed to degradation-induced mass movements in the Himalaya?
[The authors] tried to address this question. The study [first link above] integrates machine learning, statistical modeling, and numerical modeling to investigate high-resolution permafrost distribution, potential degradation, and associated mass-movement hazards in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, India.
Using rock glaciers as proxies, [they] generated a high-resolution permafrost distribution using machine learning, while potential degradation zones were delineated using the 0°C isotherm as a first-order indicator. [They] further identified glacial lakes located near potentially degrading permafrost zones and reconstructed their bathymetry. A detailed scenario-based GLOF process-chain simulation was then carried out for Kashang Lake using r.avaflow and HEC-RAS.
[Their] results indicate that seven glacial lakes in #Kinnaur are located close to potentially degrading permafrost zones. The simulations further show that a potential GLOF from Kashang Lake could inundate critical downstream infrastructure, including nearly 11 km of National Highway 5…”

CWC report reveals 432 glacial lakes in India are expanding, demanding close monitoring to prevent potential floods. Total glacial lake area increased by 30% since 2011. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/432-himalayan-glacial-lakes-pose-threat-of-destructive-flood-cwc-k3mwwpoe?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #GlacialLakes #Floods #India #Himalayas #ClimateChange

Glacial lake outburst flood (Volcanology 🌋)
A glacial lake outburst flood is a type of outburst flood caused by the failure of a dam containing a glacial lake. An event similar to a GLOF, where a body of water contained by a glacier melts or overflows the glacier, is called a jökulhlaup. The dam can consist of glacier ice or a terminal moraine. Failure can happen due to erosion, a...

"Glaciologists and agencies that monitor #GlacialLakes are asking why no early warning systems were put in place, given the importance of the Teesta-III hydropower project, which supplied electricity to practically the whole of northern #Sikkim."
As glacial lakes are swelling with #ClimateChange boosted meltwater, it makes sense to put warning systems in place, and have resilience and evacuation plans.

Glacial lake outburst floods are becoming more frequent and destructive as the climate warms. These floods occur when ice or rock dams holding back glacial lakes fail, releasing huge volumes of water. They pose serious threats to people and infrastructure downstream, especially in mountainous regions like Alaska and the Himalayas. #GLOF #GlacialLakes #ClimateRisk https://theconversation.com/glacial-lake-outburst-floods-in-alaska-and-the-himalayas-show-evolving-hazards-in-a-warming-world-214829
