Hazard from Himalayan glacier lake outburst floods

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) have become emblematic of a changing mountain cryosphere. The Himalayas suffered the highest losses from these sudden pulses of meltwater but lack a quantitative appraisal of GLOF hazard.
