In this study, the researchers identified and classified all glacial lakes in the Third Pole region based on their position and characteristics in relation to their source glacier, using satellite images taken between 2018 and 2022. They then analysed the changes in GLOF activity over the past decades, using data from as far back as 1900. The researchers predicted the observed "worrisome" trend of yearly increase in GLOF instances to continue, which they said underscored the need for developing better analytical methods and datasets to stay ahead of potential disasters.
