Title

THE ANALYSIS OF GLACIAL GEOMORPHOLOGY FOR KHONG KYONG KHANGSU GLACIER, THROUGH GIS & REMOTE SENSING IN NORTH DISTRICT, SIKKIM

Abstract

Khong Kyong Khangsu, the longest glacier of Change Khangpu glacial basin of Sikkim Himalaya, has been studied for it’s geomorphology. The objective of study is to classify the glaciated-geomorphic features into erosion, depositional and fluvial category along-with their origin, development process and other prominent surface changes through integrated manner. Three approaches have been utilized namely: Conventional, Field observation & Modern. Cartosat-1, first Indian stereo-image satellite [three dimensional] in conjunction with IRS- LISS IV [Mss] satellite data have been used as part of GIS & Remote Sensing as Modern approach. The glaciated- erosion features as Cirque, U shaped valley have been depicted in snow accumulation zone through DEM. The glaciated-depositional and glaciated-fluvial features like: Moraine, Terrace and, Channel deposit respectively have been documented with preparation of the glacial geo-morphological map. The retreating pattern of glacier as prominent surface change observed is the testimony for ongoing Global warming cum sea level fluctuation in Bay of Bengal.
