Interpretation of the glacial lake outburst floods database in relation to climatic conditions in different world regions

Acta Universitatis Carolinae Geographica
This article investigates the response of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) to climatic conditions since the beginning of the 20th century and during individual seasons based on the data from the publicly available online database recording past GLOFs

Modelling glacial lake outburst flood impacts in the Bolivian Andes [PDF]

, 2018
The Bolivian Andes have experienced sustained and widespread glacier mass loss in recent decades. Glacier recession has been accompanied by the development of proglacial lakes, which pose a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) risk to downstream ...

GLOFs of Laguna de los Témpanos, glacier-dammed side lake of Glaciar Steffen, Hielo Patagónico Norte, Chile, since 1974

Bulletin of Glaciological Research, 2020
Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOF) at Laguna de los Témpanos, a glacier-dammed side lake of Glaciar Steffen, Hielo Patagónico Norte, were documented for a period between December 1974 and February 2020.

Digital landscapes of deglaciation:identifying Late Quaternary glacial lake outburst floods using LiDAR [PDF]

, 2016
High resolution DEMs obtained from LiDAR topographic data have led to improved landform inventories (e.g. landslides and fault scarps) and understanding of geomorphic event frequency.

Modelling the effectiveness of GLOF DRM measures – a case study from the Ala-Archa valley, Kyrgyz Republic [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Disaster risk management (DRM) for glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) is critical due to the increasing risk posed by GLOFs to downstream communities and infrastructure.

Estimating the Changes in Glaciers and Glacial Lakes in the Xixabangma Massif, Central Himalayas, between 1974 and 2018 from Multisource Remote Sensing Data

Remote Sensing, 2021
The continuous melting of valley glaciers can impact the water levels of glacial lakes and create glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). The Xixabangma massif is one of the most populated areas in the Himalayas and has suffered from multiple GLOFs.

Cordilleran Ice Sheet early deglaciation inferred from evolution of Late‐Pleistocene glacial Lake Dzulh Stun in east‐central British Columbia, Canada

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 ...

Early Holocene jökulhlaup chronology and deglaciation dynamics in central Iceland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacial lake outburst floods (jökulhlaups) have occurred throughout the Quaternary in glaciated regions worldwide. Reconstructing flood chronology yields insight into deglaciation processes, environmental change and the role of extreme events in landscape evolution.

It is time to build GLOF-resilient communities globally before another GLOF disaster strikes

npj Natural Hazards
Abstract Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are natural catastrophic events that pose a growing threat to mountain communities worldwide. Despite extensive research, hazard mapping, and risk modelling, these events continue to cause large-scale destruction to the downstream communities and infrastructure. This persistent vulnerability stems
