Characterization of Three Surges of the Kyagar Glacier, Karakoram
Remote Sensing, 2023 Glaciers experience periodic variations in flow velocity called surges, each of which influences the glacier’s characteristics and the occurrence of downstream disasters (e.g., ice-dammed lake outburst floods).

The 1988 glacial lake outburst flood in Guangxieco Lake, Tibet, China [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 The 1988 glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) in Guangxieco Lake is studied based on geomorphological evidence, interviews with local residents, field surveys in 1990 and 2007, and satellite images from different years. The findings are as follows. (1) The

Hazard assessment of glacial lake outburst floods from Kyagar glacier, Karakoram mountains, China [PDF]
, 2014 Kyagar glacier is located in the Chinese Karakoram mountains. The glacier tongue entirely blocks the riverbed in the upper Shaksgam valley and impounds a glacial lake, which was the source of several violent and disastrous glacial lake outburst floods ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.Abstract We document the early decay of the Late‐Pleistocene Cordilleran Ice Sheet in the central portion of the Rocky and Cariboo Mountains and the Rocky Mountain Trench in east‐central British Columbia. Glacial lakes impounded at the eastern margin of the ice sheet occupied watersheds on the west flank of the central Rocky Mountains, leaving ...

Photogrammetric monitoring of glacier margin lakes
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2015 The growing number of glacier margin lakes that have developed due to glacier retreat have caused an increase of dangerous glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in several regions over the last decade.

Modern sedimentary processes at the heads of Martínez Channel and Steffen Fjord, Chilean Patagonia [PDF]
, 2020 Chilean fjord sediments constitute high-resolution archives of climate and environmental change in the southern Andes. To interpret such records accurately, it is crucial to understand how sediment is transported and deposited within these basins.
