DEEPTAL- (DEtection and Evaluation of overdeepenings as Potential sites for future glacial TAL (Lake))

  • DEEPTAL is a geospatial analysis tool designed to identify subglacial overdeepenings where future glacial lakes are likely to form as ice melts. The name combines “deep”, representing overdeepened terrain with “taal” (the Hindi term for lake), highlighting its focus on deep hollows in the glacier bed capable of holding water.

  • DEEPTAL is a free software tool developed in R with an interactive Shiny-based graphical user interface that integrates SAGA GIS for terrain preprocessing and hydrological analysis.

  • Designed for glaciology researchers, hydrologists, and geospatial analysts, DEEPTAL requires inputs such as Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), glacier ice thickness data, and glacier outlines to identify potential glacial lake formation zones through automated geospatial workflows.
