The article describes about the current state of glacial lakes in the northern part of the Teskey and in the southern part of the Kungoy Ranges. In study, we used new satellite images with a high resolution applying by Remote Sensing methods and fieldwork. The number of glacial lakes in Teskey Range is five folds […]

The present paper represents integrated measurements of structural features of the bed and Inylchek glacier in forming the Mertzbacher lake ice dam outburst mechanism.

Glaciers, glacial-frozen-moraine lakes, rock glaciers and permafrost play a leading role in shaping the planet’s climate balance. Currently, there are breakthroughs in both the newly formed high-altitude lakes, and which are more than 100 years old, which is connected with the acceleration of the transformation of permafrost, glaci-deformation of moraines and the degradation of glaciers. […]

Using high-resolution satellite images and remote sensing methods, allows assessing the state of glacial lakes and their dynamics in Kyrgyz Range. According to the remote sensing data, we identified the number, location, area and altitude of glacial lakes, and based on remote satellite data, we selected potentially more dangerous glacial lakes, which we assessed the […]
