Ice-dams, outburst floods, and movement heterogeneity of glaciers, Karakoram
Rakesh Bhambri,Kenneth Hewitt,Prashant Kawishwar,Amit Kumar,Akshaya Verma,Snehmani,Sameer K. Tiwari,Anshuman Misra +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the most frequent, large glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) come from local clusters of glaciers in five sub-basins, given special attention here.
Journal ArticleDOI
Devastation in the Kedarnath (Mandakini) Valley, Garhwal Himalaya, during 16–17 June 2013: a remote sensing and ground-based assessment
Rakesh Bhambri,Manish Mehta,D. P. Dobhal,Anil K. Gupta,Anil K. Gupta,Bhanu Pratap,Kapil Kesarwani,Akshaya Verma +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the extent of devastation in the Mandakini valley from Kedarnath to Sonprayag based on ground observations, repeated ground photography, discussion with local residents (eye witnesses) and analysis of pre-event and post-event high-resolution satellite data.
Journal ArticleDOI
The hazardous 2017-2019 surge and river damming by Shispare Glacier, Karakoram
Rakesh Bhambri,C. Scott Watson,C. Scott Watson,Kenneth Hewitt,Umesh K. Haritashya,Jeffrey S. Kargel,Arjun Pratap Shahi,Pritam Chand,Amit Kumar,Akshaya Verma,Himanshu Govil +10 more
TL;DR: The recent active phase of Shispare surge began in April 2018, showed two surface flow maxima in June 2018 and May 2019, and terminated following a GLOF on 22–23 June 2019, probably because increased meltwater restored efficient channelized flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracing isotopic signatures (δD and δ18O) in precipitation and glacier melt over Chorabari Glacier–Hydroclimatic inferences for the Upper Ganga Basin (UGB), Garhwal Himalaya
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of summer and winter precipitation on glacier melt using stable isotopes (δD, δ18O) coupled with existing hydrometeorological observations during the glacier ablation season (June-September) for the years 2011-2012.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of debris flow and moraine failure in the Gangotri Glacier region, Garhwal Himalaya: Hydro-geomorphological aspects
TL;DR: In this article, a debris flow occurred in the foreland of Gangotri Glacier by its former tributary, Meru (Bamak) Glacier between 16 and 19 July 2017.
