GLOFs in the WOS: bibliometrics, geographies and global trends of research on glacial lake outburst floods (Web of Science, 1979–2016) [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018 Research on glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) – specific low-frequency, high-magnitude floods originating in glacial lakes, including jökulhlaups – is well justified in the context of glacier ice loss and glacial lake evolution in glacierized areas

Danger of GLOFs in the Mountain Areas of Kazakhstan [PDF]
Journal of Earth Science and Engineering, 2015 : The presentation describes the methods and shows the results of GLOFs’ danger estimation in Ile and Zhetysu Alatau ranges (Kazakhstan). The catalogues of glacial lakes were made following the results of satellite images processing.

Assessment of SWOT for Monitoring Ice‐Marginal Lake Water Levels in Greenland
Geophysical Research LettersThe Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission provides a powerful data set for monitoring global surface water resources. However, its performance for monitoring ice‐marginal lakes in Greenland remains unknown. Due to the scarcity of in

Changing glacial lakes and associated outburst floods risks in Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, Indian Himalaya [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2014 Glacial lakes and associated outburst floods (GLOFs) have increased in the Himalayan region due to climate change during the last century that has led to huge losses to society.
