New data set release: High Mountain Asia Supraglacial Lake Extents on Debris Covered Glaciers, 1988-2023, Version 1

High Mountain Asia Supraglacial Lake Extents on Debris Covered Glaciers, 1988-2023, Version 1 is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). This data set identifies the extent of supraglacial lakes (SGLs) from 1988 through 2023 on 769 of the largest debris-covered glaciers in the High Mountain Asia region. SGLs were generated via automated processing of 30 m Landsat imagery and are provided at 1-year intervals from 2004-2023, at 2-year intervals from 1992-2003, and as a single 4-year interval from 1988-1991.
