flag IIT Guwahati's AI model identifies 492 new glacial lakes in the Eastern Himalayas to better predict flood risks.

flag IIT Guwahati has developed an AI-driven framework using satellite data and Bayesian Neural Networks to identify 492 potential new glacial lake sites in the Eastern Himalayas, improving predictions of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood risks by analyzing terrain features like gentle slopes, cirques, and retreating glaciers. flag The model, published in Nature’s Scientific Reports, enhances accuracy by incorporating uncertainty and complex topography, supporting early warnings, infrastructure planning, and water management. flag Researchers plan to refine it with moraine data and field validation, urging collaboration with authorities and communities to address climate-driven glacial retreat.
