Community-level vulnerability assessment to glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in the Rio Santa Valley, Peru

High-mountain communities in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru's largest glaciated mountain range, face increased vulnerability to glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) due to climate change.

Subtle height change reveals melt water movement around and under glacial ice, an example from northern Ellesmere Island, Canada

Journal of Glaciology
Using ICESat-2 and ArcticDEM strips we track height change in a glacial basin in northern Ellesmere Island Canada. The surface topography dips towards the middle of the basin and ArcticDEM differences show a 1–3 m increase in 2020 summer surface height ...

Quantifying heterogeneous glacier dynamics in Lunana, Bhutan, using spatiotemporally high-resolution satellite imagery

Journal of Glaciology
The Lunana region in Bhutan, which hosts four large glacial lakes with significant hazard potential, has undergone rapid changes over the past decade. Using PlanetScope satellite scenes, we mapped ice velocities at monthly intervals from 2017 to 2023. We

Glacial lake outburst flood susceptibility and potential downstream implications across the Kashmir Himalaya

Journal of Glaciology
Glacial lakes in the Kashmir Himalaya have remained understudied despite their destructive potential for outburst floods. This study presents a comprehensive, manually delineated glacial lake inventory of 155 glacial lakes and a baseline for glacial lake

GLOFs in the WOS: bibliometrics, geographies and global trends of research of glacial lake outburst floods (Web of Science, 1979–2016)

, 2017
. Research of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) – specific low frequency, high magnitude floods originating in glacial lakes, including jokulhlaups – is well justified in the context of glacier ice loss and glacial lake evolution in glacierised areas ...

Loss and damage of climate change in tropical glacierized areas: from changes in water availability to GLOFs. [PDF]

Embedded within the Cordillera Blanca, the world’s most glaciated tropical mountain range, the Quillcay sub-catchment is heavily affected by anthropogenic climate change.

A new cycle of jökulhlaups at Russell Glacier, Kangerlussuaq, West Greenland

, 2011
Jökulhlaups in 2007 and 2008 from an ice-dammed lake at the northern margin of Russell Glacier, West Greenland, marked the onset of a renewed jökulhlaup cycle after 20 years of stability.
