Response of glacial-lake outburst floods to climate change in the Yarkant River basin on northern slope of Karakoram Mountains, China [PDF]
, 2010 Based on the glacial flood events and climate change in the Yarkant River basin during the past 50 years, the study investigated the long-term change of temperature and precipitation, the characteristics of glacial floods, the origin of sudden flood ...

Assessing the influence of the Merzbacher Lake outburst floods on discharge using the hydrological model SWIM in the Aksu headwaters, Kyrgyzstan/NW China [PDF]
, 2013 Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF) often have a significant impact on downstream users. Including their effects in hydrological models, identifying past occurrences and assessing their potential impacts are challenges for hydrologists working in ...

Repeated glacial-lake outburst floods in Patagonia: an increasing hazard? [PDF]
Natural Hazards, 2009 Five similar glacial-lake outburst floods (GLOFs) occurred in April, October, December 2008, March and September 2009 in the Northern Patagonia Icefield. On each occasion, Cachet 2 Lake, dammed by the Colonia Glacier, released circa 200-million m3 water into the Colonia River.

Changes in Imja Tsho in the Mount Everest Region of Nepal [PDF]
, 2014 Imja Tsho, located in the Sagarmatha ( Everest) National Park of Nepal, is one of the most studied and rapidly growing lakes in the Himalayan range. Compared with previous studies, the results of our sonar bathymetric survey conducted in September of ...

Streamlined islands and the English Channel megaflood hypothesis [PDF]
, 2015 Recognising ice-age catastrophic megafloods is important because they had significant impact on large-scale drainage evolution and patterns of water and sediment movement to the oceans, and likely induced very rapid, short-term effects on climate. It has

Potential flood volume of Himalayan glacial lakes [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Glacial lakes are potentially dangerous sources of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), and represent a serious natural hazard in Himalayan countries. Despite the development of various indices aimed at determining the outburst probability, an objective

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2023 Due to climate change, the future Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) risk is more likely in the Himalayas. Despite several GLOF studies, little attention has been given to the combined surge that can result from a pair of upstream-downstream glacial ...

Outburst Floods from Glacial Lake Missoula
Quaternary Research, 1984 The Pleistocene outburst floods from glacial Lake Missoula, known as the “Spokane Floods”, released as much as 2184 km3of water and produced the greatest known floods of the geologic past. A computer simulation model for these floods that is based on physical equations governing the enlargement by water flow of the tunnel penetrating the ice dam is ...
