Digital polygon dataset of Snow Cover Area of Pakistan. This dataset is Basic grid layer derived from ESRI Map & Data 2001.

Digital polygon dataset of location of Gyoko lake of Nepal. This dataset is created using Landsat TM, IRS and IKONOS satellite imageries under ICIMOD partnership with Wetlands International, ARGEOPS and Asia ProEco.

Digital polygon data of Glaciers of Hindu Kush Himalaya Region. This dataset is acquired from ESRI Map & Data Center in 2001.

Digital polygon data of Glaciers of Bhutan in 2010. This dataset is created using Landsat TM and ETM+, imageries of 2010. The glacier outlines was derived semi-automatically using object-based image classification (OBIC ) method separately for clean ice and debris cover and further editing and validation was done carefully by draping over the high resolution images from Google Earth.

Digital polygon data of Glaciers of Bhutan in 1990. This dataset is created using Landsat MSS and TM imageries of 1990. The glacier outlines was derived semi-automatically using object-based image classification (OBIC ) method separately for clean ice and debris cover and further editing and validation was done carefully by draping over the high resolution images from Google Earth.

Digital polygon data of Glaciers of Central Karakoram National Park(CKNP) area, Pakistan. This dataset is created using topographic sheet maps at scale of 20000.

Digital polygon data of Glaciers of Bhutan in 1980. This dataset is created using Landsat MSS imageries of 1980. The glacier outlines was derived semi-automatically using object-based image classification (OBIC ) method separately for clean ice and debris cover and further editing and validation was done carefully by draping over the high resolution images from Google Earth.

Digital polygon data of Glaciers of Bhutan in 2000. This dataset is created using Landsat TM and ETM+, imageries of 2000. The glacier outlines was derived semi-automatically using object-based image classification (OBIC ) method separately for clean ice and debris cover and further editing and validation was done carefully by draping over the high resolution images from Google Earth.

The dataset shows a layer of rock glaciers mapped comprehensively by a first person, using the polygon tool in Google Earth. Therefore, 4000 randomly distributed sample polygons have been created over the Hindu Kush Himalayan region, and each sample polygon has been examined for rock glaciers by two different individuals to increase confidence in the mapping.
