Allowing for the slight change in camera angle, there is little indication of major change between the two images. The large boulder on the left side of the upper part of the channel bank has slipped into the water on the right hand image, presumably indicating that channel widening is continuing. Of course there may well be some continued erosion of the bed that would is not visible here.
In the upper channel there is comparably little evidence of change also. The inset image is from 7th June, the main image a day later:
It may be that a more detailed inspection on the ground would reveal a more dynamic system.
It is my intention to stop duplicating posts on the two sites from today, with the Hunza Monitoring Blog being used once again to present data on the state of the dam and the lake, and Dave's Landslide Blog to provide a commentary. On DLB I will also start covering other landslide events again.
you are doing a good job. thanks for providing updates.

What about the inflow. Has it reached its peak? i think the glacial melt has not initiated yet or may be in its initial stage but not sure. during July and August we may expect more inflow and lake level might rise again.
ReplyDeleteTIP: You should use the "mouseover" event in your code. So we could compare image BEFORE/AFTER by moving the mouse in/out of the published images.
ReplyDeleteBTW, thanks for your updates!
