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:

Assessment Principles for Glacier and Permafrost Hazards in Mountain Regions

Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Natural Hazard Science, 2022
Abstract Glacier and permafrost hazards in cold mountain regions encompass various flood and mass movement processes that are strongly affected by rapid and cumulative climate-induced changes in the alpine cryosphere. These processes are characterized by a range of spatial and temporal dimensions, from small volume icefalls and ...

A socio-cryospheric systems approach to glacier hazards, glacier runoff variability, and climate change

2021
Cryospheric hazards in mountain ranges, at high latitudes, and around ice-covered volcanoes can adversely affect people by generating disasters such as glacial lake outburst floods, rock-ice landslides, lahars, and iceberg instability, as well as risks ...

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.

Glacier Fluctuations and Hazards

Geographical Journal, 1987
discussion of the types of hazards associated with climatically led oscillations in populated areas and their timing. The threat from such glaciers has diminished but not disappeared with the recession of the last century. The impact of the more dramatic oscillations of surging glaciers and those with floating tongues has been limited by their ...
