Glacial Lakes Outburst Floods (GLOFs) modelling of Thulagi and Lower Barun Glacial Lakes of Nepalese Himalaya
Melting of glaciers is one of the major effects of recent atmospheric warming in the Himalayas which results in the development of supraglacial lakes that coalesce to form proglacial lakes. Large volumes of water in these lakes are considered dangerous due to its unstable surrounding geomorphology....
