Data is a powerful tool, but its true strength lies in its application. With this new data on GLOFs in #HMA let us note the lessons on how can we leverage this information to inform decisionmaking, improve #DRR response and mitigation" DG, ICIMOD New data on GLOF in High Mountain Asia. check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dVw_DCzg
#Justlaunched a new dataset for #GLOFs in High Mountain Asia. The dashboard is a repository of over 700 glacial lake outburst floods dating back almost two centuries, and including recent devastating events. The GLOF dashboard captures a number of key datapoints about each flood: date, time, place, volume of water; triggers; physical characteristics of the lake dam; and the impact in lives, livelihoods, property and infrastructure. This dataset serves as a crucial foundation for further scientific investigations and providing a robust data basis for downstream impact and risk assessments.
