Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.High‐resolution PlanetScope imagery reveals seasonal variations in proglacial lake area are underestimated by ~7% in moderate‐resolution data, while use of a single summer image can underestimate annual maximum area by ~2%. Capturing these seasonal variations provides valuable insights into the factors driving lake dynamics at Fjallsárlón, Iceland ...

Reconstructing glacial outburst floods (jökulhlaups) from geomorphology: challenges, solutions, and an enhanced interpretive framework [PDF]
, 2022 Glacial outburst floods (jökulhlaups) have been significant drivers of landscape change across Earth throughout the Quaternary and are a contemporary hazard in Arctic and alpine regions worldwide.

The analysis of GLOFs database [PDF]
, 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 ...

Modeling oscillations in connected glacial lakes
Journal of Glaciology, 2019 Mountain glaciers and ice sheets often host marginal and subglacial lakes that are hydraulically connected through subglacial drainage systems. These lakes exhibit complex dynamics that have been the subject of models for decades.

A spectrum of jökulhlaup dynamics revealed by GPS measurements of glacier surface motion
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 GPS campaigns on glaciers during jökulhlaups show how subglacial floods affect glacier motion and shed light on the dynamics of such floods. Three such campaigns have been carried out on southern and western Vatnajökull, southeast Iceland, over known ...

Assessing the influence of the Merzbacher Lake outburst floods on discharge using the hydrological model SWIM in the Aksu headwaters, Kyrgyzstan/NW China [PDF]
, 2013 Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF) often have a significant impact on downstream users. Including their effects in hydrological models, identifying past occurrences and assessing their potential impacts are challenges for hydrologists working in ...

Jökulhlaups in Iceland: prediction, characteristics and simulation
, 1992 Jökulhlaups drain regularly from six subglacial geothermal areas in Iceland. From Grímsvötn in Vatnajökull, jökulhlaups have occurred at 4 to 6 yearly-intervals since the 1940s with peak discharges of 600 to 10000 m3s−1, durations of 2 to 3 weeks and ...

Timeline reconstruction of Holocene jökulhlaups along the Jökulsá á Fjöllum channel, Iceland [PDF]
, 2016 The Jökulsá á Fjöllum is Iceland’s second longest river, draining from the Vatnajökull ice cap and winding for over 200 km through the eastern highlands before emptying into the Arctic Ocean.

Inversion of a glacier hydrology model
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 The subglacial hydrologic system exerts strong controls on the dynamics of the overlying ice, yet the parameters that govern the evolution of this system are not widely known or observable.

Recent glacier and glacial lake changes and their interactions in the Bugyai Kangri, southeast Tibet
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 Glaciers in the Bugyai Kangri are located in a transition zone from southeast Tibet, where monsoonal temperate glaciers dominate, to inner Tibet, where continental glaciers dominate.
