- Aim
- Inventory regional glacial lake baselines, historical GLOF events, and cryospheric monitoring datasets across the Trishuli, Bhote Koshi, and Langtang catchments.
- Source and interface
- International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) — ICIMOD Regional Database System (RDS)
- Search method
- Query RDS for Koshi, Gandaki, Trishuli, and Bhote Koshi glacial lake datasets, GLOF inventories, and risk assessments; extract vector boundaries, volume estimations, and official technical reports. Exhaust declared metadata interfaces.
- Criteria
All languages. Spatial extent Koshi and Gandaki river basins (central Nepal & southern Tibet). All dates through 2026-09-15. - Coverage
- Baseline cryospheric and glacial lake inventories covering Nepal Himalaya and transboundary Tibetan catchments.
- Stopping rule
- Exhaust all public metadata records, direct vector datasets, and linked technical monographs exposed for these river basins.
- Result
1 authoritative regional cryospheric dataset family recovered with 2 child assets (GeoPackage vector outlines and technical assessment report).
