The GLOFCA Project has developed a visual to better explain the mechanism of the EWS that will be employed in the project’s pilot sites.

The first edition of the GLOFCA Quarterly Newsletter for 2025 features highlights from our participation in key events and upcoming plans for Early Warning System installations across Central Asia. The newsletter is available in two languages (English and Russian).

This manual details the process of creating a glacial lake inventory for Central Asia using a standardized, automated approach. It uses open-source Python tools and Sentinel-2 data to regularly update lake maps across the region.

This manual explains how to use the GLOFCA toolbox to map and monitor glacial lakes using high-resolution satellite data. It covers the toolbox’s Python-based implementation, which leverages open-source libraries and satellite imagery from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2.

This document outlines best practices for managing GLOF hazards in Central Asia, integrating national standards with international approaches. It covers procedures for glacial lake assessment and risk management established in the four countries and combines them with international scientific state-of-the-art approaches. This document was developed with contributions from international and national experts.
