Resource details

Summary
Historical glacier elevation-change archive covering several HMA regions, with an explicitly listed Langtang.zip component.
Review findings
Baseline archive, not 2026 event data. Langtang’s reference coordinate is not an archive footprint. Exact time pairs, raster grids and source-area overlap need archive-level appraisal. All-files ZIP/TAR requires an account. Automated appraisal; no independent human screening or manuscript inclusion assigned. Asset assessment REV-20260908-ASSETS-002 completed 10 newly added or rediscovered asset records; 0 retain explicit follow-up. Titles, technical fields, source versions and interpretation limits are recorded in the asset-review export. Resource eligibility and manuscript inclusion remain separate. The Langtang ZIP was structurally inspected: seven historical difference rasters, 30 m grid, EPSG:32645, with filename-labelled intervals from 1964 to 2019.
