GLOF Risk Management Experiences and Options: A Global Overview
The prevalence and impacts of glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in all glacierized mountain ranges globally underlines the importance of GLOF disaster risk management (DRM). A large variety of types of GLOF DRM measures exists, targeting the reduction of the hazard of a potential GLOF, of the exposure, or of the vulnerability of people and ...Niggli, Laura +7 more

Glacier Retreat and Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs)
2017Glacier retreat is considered to be one of the most obvious manifestations of recent and ongoing climate change in the majority of glacierized alpine and high-latitude regions throughout the world. Glacier retreat itself is both directly and indirectly connected to the various interrelated geomorphological/hydrological processes and changes in ...

Database of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs)–IPL project No. 179
Landslides, 2013This article summarises activities and preliminary results of the International Programme on Landslides Project no. 179 “Database of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs)”. This project is planned for 3 years (2013–2015); the main objectives of the first year are (1) to create an online database and (2) to select collaborating partners.

Evaluace přírodních ohrožení z GLOFs v pohoří Cordillera Huayhuash
2020Hazard evaluation from GLOFs in the Cordillera Huayhuash Abstract: Proglacial lakes in high-mountain regions recently experienced dynamic development related to the ongoing climatic changes. Most of the mountain ranges were widely studied with respect to hazards posed by proglacial lakes.

Monitoring GLOFs via deep learning-based remote sensing and transfer learning
2023As glacial melting and permafrost melting increase in intensity, regions with glaciers experience higher rates of flooding, which can cause immense economic loss and hundreds of lives lost in glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). By training a convolutional neural network (CNN) for this problem on multitemporal satellite imagery, we propose enabling ...

An effective non-Newtonian approach in simulating GLOF Floods
Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) often occur at high elevations, resulting in catastrophic flash floods while leaving little or no time for effectively managing them. They are characterized by destructive velocities of several m/s, enabling the transport of a large amount of debris and sediments. Due to a combination of the solid and liquid forces,Nithila Devi Nallasamy +4 more

Simulating Subglacial Hydrology: Insights into the Triggers of Surges and GLOFs
The snowpack and glaciers of the Himalaya-Karakoram range feed several major river systems in Asia which provide water to over one billion people. Glacial retreat, glacial lake outburst flooding (GLOFs), and glacial ice mass balance are all likely strongly affected by subglacial hydrology.Neosha Narayanan +6 more
