A study by research scientists from IIT Jammu highlights how glacial lake outbursts floods (GLOF) are affecting the health of the Himalayas, particularly in the Karakoram range, and why it is concerning.They found that the increased ice thinning of the Mochowar glacier could lead to a different GLOF scenario and trigger cascaded events of GLOFs; therefore, there is a critical need for monitoring and an early warning system in these endangered regions., Opinion News, Times Now
