Proceedings of the training on identification of potentially dangerous glacial lakes based on remote sensing and geospatial techniques

To enhance knowledge on glacial hazards such as glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), the Strengthening Water Resources Management in Afghanistan (SWaRMA) Initiative organized a training on “Identification of potentially dangerous glacial lakes based on remote sensing and geospatial techniques” from 15–19 July 2019. Participants participated in a practical exercise on identifying all the fundamental parameters of a glacial lake and dam to identify potentially dangerous glacial lakes in the Kabul basin, Afghanistan, and place them under three different priority levels for GLOF risk reduction.
