Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

We have analyzed one rapidly expanding glacial lake and one stagnant glacial lake located in the central Himalaya to understand the impact of local topography on the expansion and evolution of glacial lakes using remote sensing data. The slope, aspect, incoming solar radiation and compactness ratio of glaciers associated with the glacial lakes have been studied and analyzed. Glacier topography play important role in the expansion of glacial lakes as observed from the study..
