  • ISRO Satellite Images Unveil Concerning Expansion of Himalayan Glacial Lake |

    New Delhi: The latest satellite images shared by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)have raised concern globally as it show a significant expansion of the glacial lakes in the Himalayas in the past 3 to 4 decades. According to ISRO’s data, over 600 lakes which amount to 89% of the total glacial lakes on the Himalayas have grown over twice their size in the past 30- 40 years.

    Long-term changes in the Ghepang Ghat glacial lake (Indus River Basin) at an elevation of 4,068 m in Himachal Pradesh, India, show a 178 per cent increase in size from 36.49 to 101.30 hectares between 1989 and 2022. The rate of increase is about 1.96 hectares per year.


    Long-term satellite imagery covering the catchments of Indian Himalayan river basins from 1984 to 2023 indicates significant changes in glacial lakes. Of the 2,431 lakes larger than 10 hectares identified during 2016-17, 676 glacial lakes have notably expanded since 1984. Specifically, 130 of these lakes are situated within India, with 65, 7, and 58 lakes located in the Indus, Ganga, and Brahmaputra River basins, respectively, the statement read.

    The Himalayan Mountains are often referred to as the Third Pole because of their extensive glaciers and snow cover. They are considered highly sensitive to changes in the global climate, both in terms of their physical characteristics and their societal impacts.

    Research conducted worldwide has consistently shown that glaciers across the globe have been experiencing unprecedented rates of retreat and thinning since the onset of the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth century.

    This retreat leads to the formation of new lakes and the enlargement of existing ones in the Himalayan region. These bodies of water, created by the melting of glaciers, are known as glacial lakes and play a crucial role as freshwater sources for rivers in the Himalayan region.

    However, they also pose significant risks, such as Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs), which can have devastating consequences for communities downstream. GLOFs occur when glacial lakes release large volumes of meltwater due to the failure of natural dams, such as those made of moraine or ice, resulting in sudden and severe flooding downstream, ISRO further stated.

    These dam failures can be triggered by various factors, including avalanches of ice or rock, extreme weather events, and other environmental factors. Monitoring and studying the occurrence and expansion of glacial lakes in the Himalayan region is considered challenging due to the inaccessible and rugged terrain.

    Satellite remote sensing technology proves to be an excellent tool for inventory and monitoring due to its wide coverage and revisit capability, the ISRO stated, adding that assessing long-term changes in glacial lakes is crucial for understanding glacier retreat rates, assessing GLOF risks, and gaining insights into climate change impacts.

    Elevation-based analysis further reveals that 314 lakes are located in the 4,000 to 5,000 m range and 296 lakes are above 5,000 m elevation. The glacial lakes are categorized based on their formation process into four broad categories, namely Moraine-dammed (water dammed by moraine), Ice-dammed (water dammed by ice), Erosion (water dammed in depressions formed by erosion), and other glacial lakes. Among the 676 expanding lakes, the majority of them are Moraine-dammed (307) followed by Erosion (265), other (96), and Ice-dammed (8) glacial lakes, respectively, the release further stated.

    Satellite-derived long-term change analyses provide valuable insights for understanding glacial lake dynamics, which are essential for assessing environmental impacts and developing strategies for GLOF risk management and climate change adaptation in glacial environments, it added.

  • Chandrayaan-3: ISRO chairman says ‘no sure bet’ over waking up moon lander and rover

    By means of Specific Information Provider

    KOCHI: An afternoon after former ISRO chairman A S Kiran Kumar spelt out there is not any hope of waking up the Chandrayaan-3’s moon lander and rover, the existing chairman of the distance analysis organisation S Somnath hinted about an opportunity, however no sure bet over re-establishing touch with the rover Pragyan and lander Vikram.

    Chatting with PTI on Friday, House Fee member and previous chairman of ISRO Kiran Kumar dominated out the potential of waking up the moon lander and rover.

    “No, no, there received’t be any further hope of reviving. Now, if it will have to have took place, it will have to have took place by way of now. There’s (now) no probability in any respect,” Kiran Kumar was once quoted as pronouncing by way of the PTI.

    Talking after he was once awarded the Vikram Sarabhai Vigyan Puraskar instituted by way of Kakkanad, the Kochi-based Vikram Sarabhai Science Basis (VSSF), Somnath identified that India’s 3rd lunar challenge’s goal was once completed in 14 days, and then it entered sleep mode. Someday at the Moon is similar to fourteen days on Earth.

    Then again, on re-establishing touch with the rover and lander, which had long past into sleep mode on September 2, Somnath mentioned, “There is a chance, however there is no sure bet”.

    Somanath, the motive force at the back of Chandrayaan 3, which etched India’s title at the moon and within the annals of historical past, additionally reminisced about his early days at ISRO. “Once I first changed into part of ISRO, it was once all over a difficult duration for the group. I keep in mind being mocked by way of other folks whilst taking the bus, reminding me of our setbacks and screw ups,” he instructed a big collecting of scholars, who assembled on the Vikram Sarabhai Science College, Kakkanad, for the 8th VSSF Science Conclave.

    Replying to a comparable question, Somanath mentioned the toughest problem he confronted all over the Chandrayaan 3 challenge was once the comfortable touchdown. “There have been a large number of components to be regarded as to make the touchdown.”

    Many surprise how ISRO, a central authority entity, operates with such pastime and willpower. “A number of components give a contribution to this. Initially, the autonomy granted to it performs a pivotal position. Secondly, the organizational construction successfully takes into consideration the insights of scientists and acts upon them. Finally, the fun of witnessing an concept change into from a trifling idea to a finalized product is undeniably probably the most enjoyable studies one may have,” the ISRO leader mentioned.

    Somnath suggested the scholars to concentrate on a selected box of analysis and acquire deep wisdom moderately than seeking to acquire wisdom in all fields of science. “A very powerful high quality scholars will have to have is a great studying addiction. They will have to actually have a dedication to society and know what’s going down round them,” Somnath, a local of Alappuzha, mentioned.

     He additionally emphasised the will for reforms within the box of schooling. “Simplest people if truth be told taken with science will have to pursue complex research in it. Whilst everybody will have to obtain a elementary schooling in science, upper schooling on this box will have to be reserved for individuals who are in point of fact passionate and certified. Nowadays, we practice many engineering graduates, but their employability is regularly low. There must be a real hobby in it moderately than simply employability,” he mentioned.

    Vikram Sarabhai Vigyan Puraskar award contains a money prize of Rs 2 lakh and a quotation, which was once passed to Somanath. The development noticed digital participation from G Madhavan Nair, a former ISRO chairman. Different dignitaries incorporated V P Pleasure, former leader secretary of the Kerala govt; Indira Rajan, the CEO of VSSF; Umesh N.S.Ok., the Ernakulam district collector; and E Nandhakumar, at the side of representatives from more than a few entities.

  • After moon touchdown project, ISRO’s eye on release of Aditya-L1 sun project

    Through PTI

    BENGALURU: After the a success moon lander project, ISRO is now gearing up for the release of a sun project in every week’s time, most probably on September 2, to review the Solar.

    Aditya-L1 spacecraft is designed to supply far flung observations of the sun corona and in situ observations of the sun wind at L1 (Solar-Earth Lagrangian level), which is set 1.5 million kilometres from the Earth.

    It is going to be the primary devoted Indian house project for observations of the Solar to be introduced by way of the Bengaluru-headquartered house company.

    The Aditya-L1 project, geared toward finding out the Solar from an orbit across the L1, would lift seven payloads to watch the photosphere, chromosphere and the outermost layers of the Solar, the corona, in several wavebands.

    Aditya-L1 is a completely indigenous effort with the participation of nationwide establishments, an ISRO professional stated.

    The Bengaluru-based Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) is the lead institute for the improvement of the Visual Emission Line Coronagraph payload. Whilst Inter-College Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Pune, has evolved the Sun Ultraviolet Imager payload for the project.

    Aditya-L1 can give observations at the corona, and at the sun Chromosphere the usage of the UV payload and at the flares the usage of the X-ray payloads.

    The particle detectors and the magnetometer payload can give data on charged debris and the magnetic box achieving the halo orbit round L1.

    The satellite tv for pc, realised at U R Rao Satellite tv for pc Centre right here, arrived on the ISRO’s spaceport of Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, two weeks in the past.

    “In all probability the release will happen on September 2 “, an ISRO professional stated.

    The spacecraft is deliberate to be positioned in a halo orbit across the L1 of the Solar-Earth gadget. A satellite tv for pc positioned within the halo orbit across the L1 level has the key benefit of steadily viewing the Solar with none occultation/eclipses, ISRO famous.

    “This may supply a better benefit of watching the sun actions and its impact on house climate in real-time,” it stated.

    The usage of the particular vantage level L1, 4 payloads without delay view the Solar and the remainder 3 payloads perform in-situ research of debris and fields on the L1, thus offering vital clinical research of the propagatory impact of sun dynamics within the interplanetary medium.

    “The fits of Aditya L1 payloads are anticipated to give you the maximum the most important data to grasp the issue of coronal heating, coronal mass ejection, pre-flare and flare actions and their traits, dynamics of house climate, propagation of particle and fields and many others.”, ISRO stated.

    The main science targets of the Aditya-L1 project are: Find out about of Sun higher atmospheric (chromosphere and corona) dynamics; Find out about of chromospheric and coronal heating, physics of the partly ionised plasma, initiation of the coronal mass ejections, and flares; Apply the in-situ particle and plasma atmosphere offering information for the find out about of particle dynamics from the Solar.

    In addition they come with Physics of sun corona and its heating mechanism; Diagnostics of the coronal and coronal loops plasma: Temperature, speed and density; Construction, dynamics and foundation of CMEs; Determine the series of processes that happen at a couple of layers (chromosphere, base and prolonged corona) which sooner or later ends up in sun eruptive occasions; Magnetic box topology and magnetic box measurements within the sun corona; Drivers for house climate (foundation, composition and dynamics of sun wind.

    The tools of Aditya-L1 are tuned to watch the sun surroundings, principally the chromosphere and corona. In-situ tools will follow the native atmosphere at L1.
