Glacier change and glacial lake outburst flood risk in the Bolivian Andes [PDF]

, 2016
Glaciers of the Bolivian Andes represent an important water resource for Andean cities and mountain communities, yet relatively little work has assessed changes in their extent over recent decades.

Dangerous Glacial Lakes Identification With Property-Spatial Associations in High Mountain Asia From 1990 to 2022

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Glacial lakes are among the most sensitive indicators of climate change. With the ongoing climate warming, the number and area of glacial lakes are dramatically increased, particularly in High Mountain Asia (HMA), thereby concomitantly arousing the ...

Glacial lake outburst flood susceptibility and potential downstream implications across the Kashmir Himalaya

Journal of Glaciology
Glacial lakes in the Kashmir Himalaya have remained understudied despite their destructive potential for outburst floods. This study presents a comprehensive, manually delineated glacial lake inventory of 155 glacial lakes and a baseline for glacial lake

Glaciers, glacial lakes and glacial lake outburst floods in the Khumbu region, Nepal

, 2020
Climate changes have a direct impact on glaciers that ultimately results in glacial retreat, creating a high risk from catastrophic glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). The GLOFs are glacier disaster, which is the result of sudden discharge of large volume of water with debris from proglacial or supraglacial lakes in valley downstream. The research on

Glaciological results of the 2005 expedition to Inylchek Glacier, Central Tian Shan [PDF]

, 2008
Like many other glaciers in Central Asia, Southern Inylchek glacier in the Kyrgyz Tian Shan is covered by supraglacial moraine, which drastically influences melt rates and complicates the estimation of ablation. The quantification of sub-debris melt from

Identification of glacier motion and potentially dangerous glacial lakes in the Mt. Everest region/Nepal using spaceborne imagery [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2008
Failures of glacial lake dams can cause outburst floods and represents a serious hazard. The potential danger of outburst floods depends on various factors like the lake's area and volume, glacier change, morphometry of the glacier and its ...
