The potential of satellite radar interferometry and feature tracking for monitoring flow rates of Himalayan glaciers

The stagnation of Himalayan glaciers will only be exacerbated by a warming climate, increasing hazards associated with glacier lake development. Frontal recession is a poor indicator of negative balance in this region where most glaciers are debris covered, but reduced glacier flow rates provide a v...
