Reconstruction of a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) in the Engaño Valley, Chilean Patagonia: Lessons for GLOF risk management

Science of The Total Environment, 2015
Floods from moraine-dammed lake failures can have long standing effects not only on riverine landscapes but also on mountain communities due to the high intensity (i.e. great depth and high velocities) and damaging capacity of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). GLOFs may increase in frequency as glaciers retreat and new lakes develop and there is an

GLOF: a new approach for mining local outlier

Proceedings of the 2003 International Conference on Machine Learning and Cybernetics (IEEE Cat. No.03EX693), 2004
For many data mining applications, finding the rare instances or the outliers is more interesting than finding the common patterns. In this paper, we introduce the power mean to data mining. We propose a new approach to measure the degree of an object being an outlier, which based on the nearest neighborhood and is called generalized local outlier ...

Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) Database Project

2014
Due to global climate change and ongoing deglaciation, research on Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) is of great importance. The idea of a glacial lake outburst floods database project arose from our effort to identify regional specifics of these events in our region of research interest—the highest Peruvian mountain range, Cordillera Blanca.

GLOFs Disasters in Himalayas: A Defeat against Climate Change

Indian Science Cruiser, 2023
In the fight against climate change, India had to face two crushing defeats in the form of environment disasters, the Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) in the Himalayas, in 2013 in Kedarnath and in 2023 in Sikkim. In the last 4 decades, the focus regarding global warming was on Ozone hole and polar ice caps which as per forecast, would melt, and ...

GLOF risk management experiences and options in a global context

2022
<p>Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOF) are cryospheric hazards of severe destructive potential. GLOFs are prevalent in all glacierized mountain ranges globally and can cause high economic losses and pose a threat to people and livelihoods, potentially impacting agricultural land, lives and infrastructure. This underlines the importance of

Analýza databáze GLOFs

2023
In many areas around the world, events occur when a large volume of water is suddenly released from a glacial lake. This event, called a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF), can flood a large area under a glacial lake in a short time, posing a major risk to local populations and infrastructure.

A new GLOF inventory for the Peruvian and Bolivian Andes

2021
<p>Addressing the question of whether Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) are changing in frequency and magnitude in modern times requires historical context, but suffers from incomplete GLOF inventories, especially in remote mountain regions.

Pro‐glacial lake sedimentation from jökulhlaups (GLOF), Blåmannsisen, northern Norway

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2014
AbstractOutburst floods from glacier‐dammed lakes are major events associated with glacier thinning and volume reduction. This paper investigates jökulhlaups emanating from the glacier‐dammed lake Øvre Messingmalmvatn at Rundvassbreen, an outlet glacier of the Blåmannsisen ice cap in northern Norway. Since 2001, the lake has several times been observed

GLOF Risk and Reduction Approaches in Pakistan

2014
The Hindu Kush, Karakoram and Himalayan ranges in Pakistan offer the most rugged and the hostile natural environment for the human colonies and settlements. This is mostly because of the ever fluctuating and proactive environmental and geo-morphological natural processes in these mountainous areas and partly because of the slow developmental activities

Analysis of the Miage Glacier Lake GLOFs (Aosta Valley - Italy).

2020
<p>Miage Glacier Lake is a glacial marginal lake that forms on the right snout of Miage Glacier, located in the Val Veny Valley (Aosta Valley – Italy). The lake has been experiencing seasonal drainages at least since the 1930’s and 15 events have been documented from 1930 to 1990. The lake position has
