Geomorphological evidence for jökulhlaups from Kverkfjöll volcano, Iceland

, 2004
Jökulhlaups (glacial outburst floods) are known to have drained along the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river in Iceland during the Holocene. However, little is known about their number, age, source, and flow characteristics.

Palaeohydrology and sedimentary impacts of jökulhlaups from Kverkfjöll, Iceland

, 2004
Jökulhlaups (glacial outburst floods) occur frequently within Iceland and within most glaciated regions of the world. The largest jökulhlaups known to have occurred within Iceland drained from the northern margin of the Vatnajökull and along the Jökulsá ...

Early Holocene jökulhlaup chronology and deglaciation dynamics in central Iceland

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 340-355, April 2026.
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.

Land‐To‐Sea Sediment Fluxes From a Major Glacial Lake Outburst Flood Were Stepped Rather Than Instantaneous

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Glacial lake outburst floods can transport large volumes of sediment. Where these floods reach the coastline, much of the particulate matter is delivered directly to the marine environment. It has been suggested that offshore deposits, specifically in fjord settings, may provide a faithful record of past outburst flood events.

Repeated subglacial jökulhlaups in northeastern Greenland revealed by CryoSat

Journal of Glaciology
Surface height changes above three previously undetected subglacial lakes in northeastern Greenland are documented using CryoSat, DEMs and ICESat-2. Between 7 February and 6 March 2012, the central ice region (22.6 km2) above the largest lake dropped by ~

Jökulhlaups in the Kunmalike River, southern Tien Shan mountains, China

, 1992
Hydrological records of Kunmalike River in the southern Tien Shan show that jökulhlaups have occurred about once a year since 1956 from the glacier-dammed Lake Mertsbacher.

Tracking rapid and slow ice-dammed lake changes through optical satellites and local knowledge: a case study of Tystigbreen in Norway

Journal of Glaciology
The number of glacial lakes has grown globally concurrently with the retreat of glaciers in the last few decades, increasing the risk of potentially hazardous glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) and posing a threat to downstream communities.
