Ikonos Images of Namche Barwa


These are the terraces investigated in the 2002 field season on the Nyang River down to the confluence with the Tsang Po. The base map is the Digital Chart of the World.

This is the lake that apparently formed when the Tsang Po was blocked. This is based on the one-km DEM.

This river profile is based on the one-km DEM.

The one-km DEM suggests that there was no alternate pour point for the glacial lake with a surface elevation of 3529 meters.

These are our four ASTER DEMs for the area, shown over the one-km DEM. We have a fifth DEM that lies between the two on the east side, but we have had trouble georeferencing it.

THe ASTER DEM of Namche Barwa. The gorge lies in the lower left corner of the DEM.

The downstream ASTER DEM. The data gaps (mostly the result of clouds) in the other DEMs have been filled by linear interpolation, but the gaps were too large to fill on this image.
