Probability of glacial lake outburst flooding in the Himalaya
The present study aims to determine the probability of glacial lake outburst flooding (GLOF) in the Himalaya. Here, a total of 4198 glacial lakes with larger dimensions (>0.01 km2) were considered. A fusion between Object-based classification (OBC) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was appli...
