Safe Zone Area Prediction for Glacial Lake Outburst Floods

Authors- Mr. Krish Jalwal

Abstract-Abstract: Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) pose a significant threat worldwide, intensified by the escalating impacts of global warming. As glaciers retreat and thin due to climate change, new glacial lakes are forming in regions like India, Pakistan, Peru, China, and Europe. These GLOF disasters have occurred across various regions worldwide, including the Himalayas, Peruvian Cordillera Blanca, Chilean Patagonia, the Canadian Rockies, the Alps, and the Tianshan Mountains. With over 21 recorded GLOF disasters in the past 65 years and nearly 30,000 fatalities in the Peruvian Cordillera Blanca alone, proactive measures are essential to mitigate risks and safeguard vulnerable populations. This proposal aims to leverage Transfer Learning strategies of AI to predict safe zone areas, contributing to proactive risk management strategies and protecting vulnerable communities.
