Long-term variability of proglacial groundwater-fed hydrological systems in an area of glacier retreat, Skeioararsandur, Iceland [PDF]

, 2015
Proglacial groundwater‐fed features, such as seeps, substantially impact proglacial geomorphology, hydrology, and ecology. However, there is a paucity of research on the impacts of climate change and glacier retreat on the extent of these important ...

Glacial lake outburst flood risk assessment using combined approaches of remote sensing, GIS and dam break modelling

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2016
A great number of glacial lakes have appeared in many mountain regions across the world during the last half-century due to receding of glaciers and global warming. In the present study, glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) risk assessment has been carried
