Himalayan Glacier Retreat Rate and Melt Volume Tracking
Track ice boundary retreat and seasonal melt volume across high-altitude glaciers. Klarety processes Sentinel-2 multispectral time-series to delineate glacier extents, compute annual retreat rates, and estimate seasonal meltwater contribution to downstream basins. Water managers use multi-year trend reports for adaptation planning.

Annual glacier retreat reports from satellite data
Klarety agents delineate glacier extents from Sentinel-2 and return retreat rate and meltwater contribution estimates per basin.
Snow-ice classification and boundary delineation
Agents apply NDSI thresholding and supervised classification to map annual glacier extents and compute boundary retreat vectors.
Glacier extent layers for hydrological GIS tools
Export annual boundary polygons and retreat vectors for hydrological model and water resource GIS platform integration.
NDSI glacier delineation and annual retreat rate computation
Klarety agents apply NDSI thresholding to late-summer Sentinel-2 composites (minimum snow coverage period) to map glacier ice extents annually. Boundary shift vectors are computed between consecutive years to measure retreat rate in metres per year. Volume change is estimated using an area-volume scaling relationship (V = c * A^gamma). Output is an annual extent polygon time-series and retreat rate table per glacier.
