冰湖溃决洪水(GLOFs)对高山地区构成严重威胁,危及下游社区、基础设施和生态系统。传统检测方法依赖水文建模、阈值监测和人工卫星图像分析,存在更新慢、人力依赖高、云层遮挡或缺乏现场数据时精度下降等问题。为此,我们提出IceWatch:一种结合空间与时间视角的新型深度学习框架。其视觉模块RiskFlow利用基于CNN的分类器处理哨兵-2多光谱影像,通过雪、冰与融水的空间分布模式预测GLOF事件;表格模块则结合物理动态进行验证:TerraFlow从NASA ITS_LIVE时序数据中建模冰川流速,TempFlow基于MODIS地表温度记录预测近地表温度。两者经统一预处理与同步,实现多模态、物理信息驱动的预测。该系统具备强预测性能、实时处理能力及对噪声和缺失数据的鲁棒性,为自动化、可扩展的GLOF预警系统奠定基础,并支持多种传感器输入与全球冰川监测集成。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) pose a serious threat in high mountain regions. They are hazardous to communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems further downstream. The classical methods of GLOF detection and prediction have so far mainly relied on hydrological modeling, threshold-based lake monitoring, and manual satellite image analysis. These approaches suffer from several drawbacks: slow updates, reliance on manual labor, and losses in accuracy when clouds interfere and/or lack on-site data. To tackle these challenges, we present IceWatch: a novel deep learning framework for GLOF prediction that incorporates both spatial and temporal perspectives. The vision component, RiskFlow, of IceWatch deals with Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite imagery using a CNN-based classifier and predicts GLOF events based on the spatial patterns of snow, ice, and meltwater. Its tabular counterpart confirms this prediction by considering physical dynamics. TerraFlow models glacier velocity from NASA ITS_LIVE time series while TempFlow forecasts near-surface temperature from MODIS LST records; both are trained on long-term observational archives and integrated via harmonized preprocessing and synchronization to enable multimodal, physics-informed GLOF prediction. Both together provide cross-validation, which will improve the reliability and interpretability of GLOF detection. This system ensures strong predictive performance, rapid data processing for real-time use, and robustness to noise and missing information. IceWatch paves the way for automatic, scalable GLOF warning systems. It also holds potential for integration with diverse sensor inputs and global glacier monitoring activities.
