| Research Abstract |
In this study, in order to create a database of glacier lakes in Tien Shan that appeared in glacier front due to glacier shrinking in recent years, an inventory of glacier lakes in the Tien Shan was made using high-resolution satellite data of ALOS/AVNIR-2 taken between2007 and 2010. A glacier lake inventory including basic data on glacier lakes (>0.001 km2)would be very useful for monitoring, disaster planning, prevention, and glacier lake studies in general. The database included the glacier lake ID, satellite path, observation date,latitude, longitude, watershed name, area, altitude, type of glacier lake, and modified date.The number of glacier lakes is larger in the outer ranges of the Tien Shan, due to the large amount of glacier shrinkage there.
