(A) Permafrost Thawing - declining ice caps. (eg) Venezuela 1st country to loose all its glaciers.
3Climate change induced glacial Expansions & melting (eg) Chamoli district, Uttarakhand, 2024.
4Formation of Eskers & increased water flows (eg) Uttarkashi GLOF.
Mitigation Measures:
1Early warning systems (eg) ISRO and IMD Doppler Radars.
2Capacity building of community - (eg) Drills in Vulnerable areas
3Extensive Geological & Social Impact Assessment (image: GLOF Hazard Mapping).
