HIGHLIGHTS:
• Proposed U-ViT model based on Prithvi GFM for multi-sensor glacial lake mapping.
• Achieved an F1 score of 0.894 on Sentinel-1&2, surpassing CNNs scoring below 0.8.
• Maintains strong performance with 50% less training data, proving efficiency.
• Excels in detecting small lakes (<0.01km²) and handling clouds and complex terrains..."
