- Temporal coverage
- 1 January 2019 to 1 September 2026; Multi Year Baseline And Event Analysis
- Themes
- Source Mechanism, Ice–Rock Avalanche, Landslide Dam, Glacial Lakes, Remote Sensing, Hydropower Impacts
Method and provenance
- Production method
- Tests event-mechanism claims using the ICIMOD lake inventory, 2019–2025 Sentinel-2 water occurrence, USGS seismic records, a pre-event topographic stage–area–volume relation, and official reporting.
- Provenance
- Authored by Ishfaq Gujree and deposited in EarthArXiv; the repository record, Crossref metadata, and current PDF establish the DOI, version, dates, authorship, and licence.
- Validation
- Not Peer Reviewed
- Uncertainty
- The initiating mechanism remains undetermined; the study reports failure volume as unconstrained without a post-event elevation surface and distinguishes evidence of warming from causal attribution of the collapse.
- Limitations
- Source paper tests specified competing accounts using its search windows and detection limits; no catalogue absence establishes that an unrecorded event could not have occurred. Its derived topography is pre-event.
