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

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.

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 34, Issue 9, Page 2464-2482, 30 May 2023., 2023 Abstract Global climate change gives rise to changing spatial patterns of snow and ice, especially over mountain blocks where orographic and synoptic circulation effects play significant roles in creating patterns of precipitation and glacier development. The presence of snow and ice results in heat balance changes and other land surface feedbacks that

Bedforms and sedimentary structures related to supercritical flows in glacigenic settings
Sedimentology, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 1539-1579, June 2021., 2021 Abstract Upper‐flow‐regime bedforms, including upper‐stage‐plane beds, antidunes, chutes‐and‐pools and cyclic steps, are ubiquitous in glacigenic depositional environments characterized by abundant meltwater discharge and sediment supply. In this study, the depositional record of Froude near‐critical and supercritical flows in glacigenic settings is ...

Post-Little Ice Age glacial lake evolution in Svalbard: inventory of lake changes and lake types
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 The rapid formation of glacial lakes is one of the most conspicuous landscape changes caused by atmospheric warming in glacierised regions. However, relatively little is known about the history and current state of glacial lakes in the High Arctic.

Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Rapidly-rising jökulhlaups, or glacial outburst floods, are a phenomenon with a high potential for damage. The initiation and propagation processes of a rapidly-rising jökulhlaup are still not fully understood.

Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Proglacial braided river systems discharge large volumes of meltwater from ice sheets and transport coarse-grained sediments from the glaciated areas to the oceans.

Simulating glacial lake outburst floods with a two-phase mass flow model
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 To simulate a glacial lake outburst flood, we employ a comprehensive physically based general two-phase mass flow model (Pudasaini, 2012). This model accounts for a strong interaction between the solid and fluid phases and incorporates buoyancy and other

Journal of Glaciology, 2017 Discharge and water temperature measurements in the Skaftá river and measurements of the lowering of the ice over the subglacial lake at the western Skaftá cauldron, Vatnajökull, Iceland, were made during a rapidly rising glacial outburst flood ...

Post-jökulhlaup geomorphic evolution of the Gígjökull Basin, Iceland
Annals of Glaciology, 2019 How landscapes respond to, and evolve from, large jökulhlaups (glacial outburst floods) is poorly constrained due to limited observations and detailed monitoring.
