<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: '"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif;">Anyone interested in contributing to the glacial lake database on </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"><em>OpenStreetMap</em> would do well to update the information available on the region's glacial lakes via ICIMOD.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif;">Follow this link <a href="http://apps.geoportal.icimod.org/glacierlakes/index.html">http://apps.geoportal.icimod.org/glacierlakes/index.html</a>, and you will find a ready-made inventory of the Hindu-Kush Himalayas. It has a vast repository of information, including the areas, altitude, length and classifications.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif;">The process may already be in place, to transfer this info onto OSM, so I'm sorry if this treads on toes, however, this is a great resource, and I'd encourage anyone who's been familiarising themselves with OSM for the past few weeks to try to get this information from one ICIMOD database into the more easily accessible OSM.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif;">Also, the top 21 most dangerous lakes can be found here (</span><a href="http://geoportal.icimod.org/storymaps/nepalglakes/">http://geoportal.icimod.org/storymaps/nepalglakes/</a><span style="font-family: '">), with Tsho Rolpa, as mentioned previously, making top of the list.</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif;">Check it out! You may find lots of the lakes have already been mapped, but any information you can add will always be of benefit!</span></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,sans-serif;">Thanks,</span></div>

<div> </div>
<div>I think honestly you’re better placed to tell us how you can help than the other way around. Most of us aren’t glacial lake experts :-)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My first thought is that you can trace lakes in the affected areas into OSM. The second would be to help us understand what, if any, risks can result from lakes being dammed by landslides. Are there risks associated with eventual bursts? Do we need to create data in OSM and then try to model these risks in GIS software packages?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You tell us!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>Robert</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: '"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: '">My name is Sam Inglis, and my background is in glacial lake detection, identification and mapping, and was the first person to identify all glacial lakes in the North Patagonian Icefield, Chile. I am familiar with Himalayan mountain ranges, and studied large swathes of the Indo-Tibetan catchment of the Sutlej River, which runs from near Mt Kailash, transects Himachal Pradesh, and terminates in Pakistani territory.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: '"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: '">I have previously not engaged much in communal, open-source, reactive disaster mapping, but have been adding to the OSM database in Nepal sporadically over the past two weeks, when time has permitted. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: '"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: '">Yesterday, I saw that NASA had posted an <a href="http://was%20the%20first%20person%20to%20identify%20all%20glacial%20lakes%20in%20the%20North%20Patagonian%20Icefield,%20Chile,">article</a> on the formation of landslide-dammed lakes along Nepal's rivers, near Gorkha, and was wondering how I can best contribute to enhancing the understanding of the features? How can I help with such hazard detection & analysis?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: '"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: '">Thanks, and I look forward to hearing back from you and the team!</div>
