Multitemporal glacier inventory revealing four decades of glacier changes in the Ladakh region
Abstract > 0.5 km2) covering an area of ∼ 7923 ± 106 km2 which is equivalent to ∼ 30 % of the total glacier population and ∼ 89 % of the total glacierised area of the region. Glacier area ranged between 0.5 ± 0.02 and 862 ± 16 km2, while glacier length ranged between 0.4 ± 0.02 and 73 ± 0.54 km. Shayok Basin has the largest glacierised area and glacier population, while Tsokar has the least. Results show that the highest concentration of glaciers is found in the higher elevation zones, between 5000 and 6000 m a.s.l., with most of the glaciers facing towards the NW–NE quadrant. The error assessment shows that the uncertainty, based on the buffer-based approach, ranges between 2.6 % and 5.1 % for glacier area, and 1.5 % and 2.6 % for glacier length with a mean uncertainty of 3.2 % and 1.8 %, respectively. This multitemporal inventory is in good agreement with previous studies undertaken in parts of the Ladakh region. The new glacier database for the Ladakh region will be valuable for policy-making bodies, and future glaciological and hydrological studies. The data can be viewed and downloaded from PANGAEA, 10.1594/PANGAEA.940994 (Soheb et al., 2022).
