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

A Deep Learning Approach to Early Warning Systems for Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs)

International Conference on Contemporary Computing
Climate change-induced GLOFs threaten mountainous communities and ecosystems with increasingly frequent events. This paper introduces a machine learning-based EWS that integrates IoT sensors and real-time data analysis to monitor key indicators such as ...

Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) in the Nepal Himalayas: Recent events, urgent response, and global actions for cryospheric science

Journal of Tourism and Himalayan Adventures
The Nepal Himalayas are experiencing an unprecedented rise in cryosphere-induced hazards, especially Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs), as a result of rapid glacial retreat driven by anthropogenic climate change.

Sedimentary evidence of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) during the last glacial maximum in the Venetian-Friulian plain (NE Italy)

, 2020
The outwash rivers of the Venetian-Friulian plain promoted a high-rate aggradation during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), with large sedimentary bodies fed by major glaciers along the south-eastern side of the Alps.

IceWatch: Forecasting Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) using Multimodal Deep Learning

arXiv.org
Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) pose a serious threat in high mountain regions. They are hazardous to communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems further downstream. The classical methods of GLOF detection and prediction have so far mainly relied on

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
