Dataset
To support understanding and mitigation of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) risks in the Himalayan region, generated by lakes forming or expanding near glaciers, whose failure can cause sudden floods downstream
The inventory is based on images taken between 2006 and 2011 from the two optical instruments, the Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping (PRISM) and the Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type 2 (AVNIR-2) onboard ALOS.
The dataset Includes key attributes like lake ID, latitude/longitude, area, and reference information, all packaged as shape files.
