Abstract：
The Poiqu River and adjacent area lies in the Central Himalayas, with extensive glacier landforms and a complex and changing environment. It is one of the areas with the most glacial lakes and the most frequent glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF). In September 2020, the authors conducted an in-situ bathymetric survey for five moraine-dammed lakes in this region. Furthermore, glacial lake boundaries were extracted using 33 Landsat images from 1988, 2000, 2010 and 2020, as well as maps from 1974. Finally, the optimal glacial lake volume estimation equation was used to determine the lake volume. The dataset includes: (1) glacial lake bathymetry; (2) glacial lake inventory from 1974 to 2020, and the boundary data of 5 glacial lakes in september 2020; and (3) glacial lake volume. The dataset is archived in 102 data files in three group files in .tif , .shp, and .xls data formats with data size of 4.92 MB (Compressed into one single file with 766 KB). The research paper based on this dataset was published in the Journal of Hydrology, Vol. 601, 2022.Browse
