Melting Glaciers: Hidden Hazards

Science, 2017
In her In Depth News story “Chile's glacial lakes pose newly recognized flood threat” (10 March, p. [1004][1]), J. Palmer did not mention that melting glaciers pose risks beyond flooding. The water itself contains hidden hazards.

Glacier‐Related Hazards and Climatic Change

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1992
Climatic warming during the last 100–150 years has resulted in a significant glacier ice loss from mountainous regions of the world. Most glaciers have undergone thinning and their margins have retreated significantly since the Little Ice Age.

Glacier and Permafrost Hazards in High Mountains

Advances in Global Change Research, 2005
Glacier- and permafrost-related hazards represent a continuous threat to human lives and infrastructure in high mountain regions. Related disasters can kill hundreds or even thousands of people at once and cause damage with a global sum on the order of 108 Euro annually.

Modeling and Simulation of Glacier Avalanche: A Case Study of Gayari Sector Glaciers Hazards Assessment

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2015
Glacier avalanches are natural hazards that could damage infrastructures and threaten lives in high-altitude mountainous terrains. On April 7, 2012, a massive ice avalanche struck a Pakistani base at Gayari sector, Saltoro Valley, and buried/killed 148 soldiers and civilians. Keeping in view the catastrophe, a study was designed with the objectives to:

Glacier recession and the changing rockfall hazard: Implications for glacier tourism

New Zealand Geographer, 2015
AbstractRapid recession and thinning of mountain glaciers worldwide are resulting in changes to glacier surface morphology, which are exacerbated by increased rockfall and debris accumulation at lateral margins. Rockfall can be a hazard to people visiting and working on glaciers.
