Catastrophic glacial-lake outburst flooding of the Patagonian Ice Sheet
, 2020 Reconstructing the magnitude and timing of catastrophic drainage of proglacial lakes during Late Quaternary deglaciation of palaeo-ice sheets is important for understanding rates of landscape change and regional freshwater forcing of ocean currents. Here, we provide the first detailed reconstruction of catastrophic glacial lake outburst flooding from ...

Predicting the Risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods in Karakorum
Abstract. Glacier snouts respond to climate change by forming proglacial meltwater lakes, thereby influencing glacier mass balance and leading to advancements and surges. The positive feedback of climate change results in more frequent ice-dammed glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in the Karakorum and surrounding regions, often facilitated by ...

Underestimated Risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods in the Himalayas
Abstract Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in the Himalayas have caused severe consequences for downstream communities, including loss of life and substantial economic damage. The accelerated global atmospheric warming further heightens the GLOF risks.
