Global inventory of glacial lakes (GIGLak) ...
Climate change accelerates the extensive retreat of glaciers, leading to the widespread development of glacial lakes. A holistic picture on the spatial distribution of glacial lakes worldwide is crucial for tracking the outburst flood hazards. By employing a semi-automated mapping approach and rigor...
