160 glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) across the Tropical Andes since the Little Ice Age
Global and Planetary Change, 2022 Assessing the extent to which (GLOFs) are increasing in in and whether their incidence is driven by anthropogenic requires historical context. However, progress on this issue is hampered by incomplete GLOF inventories, especially in remote mountain ...

Trends, Breaks, and Biases in the Frequency of Reported Glacier Lake Outburst Floods
Earth's Future, 2022 Thousands of glacier lakes have been forming behind natural dams in high mountains following glacier retreat since the early 20th century. Some of these lakes abruptly released pulses of water and sediment with disastrous downstream consequences.

Recent changes in drainage route and outburst magnitude of the Russell Glacier ice-dammed lake, West Greenland [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) or jökulhlaups from ice-dammed lakes are frequent in Greenland and can influence local ice dynamics and bedrock motion, cause geomorphological changes, and pose flooding hazards.

Evaluation of Glacial Lakes and Catastrophic Floods on the Northern Slopes of the Kyrgyz Range
Mountain Research and Development, 2020 The changing climate in the 20th and 21st centuries has had a profound impact on glacial lake formation and downwasting. The rapid receding of glaciers due to increased atmospheric temperature has caused glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in the nival ...
