About this document
Sikkim Himalaya Glacial Lakes Dynamics Analysis by Aparajita Ghosh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study analyzes the dynamics and trends of glacial lakes in the Sikkim Himalaya from 1987 to 2020 using machine learning and cloud-based geocomputing. It employs techniques like the Random Forest Classifier to automate the identification and mapping of glacial lakes, addressing challenges posed by visual interpretation of satellite data. The findings highlight the changing dimensions of glacial lakes and the associated risks of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF) due to climate change.
