Characteristics of an Icing-Dammed Proglacial Lake
, 2017 Icing-dammed proglacial lakes form as a result of water-flow pathway restrictions caused by freezing of winter baseflow. With the majority of glaciers in the eastern Canadian High Arctic that previously terminated at sea level now terminating on land (Vaughan et al., 2013), emerging proglacial environments are becoming more common - resulting in the ...

Hydrographic measurements in Jökulsárlón lagoon, Iceland [PDF]
, 2013 Jökulsárlón lagoon is an enclosed lake bordering the retreating Breidamerkurjökull glacier which flows down from the Vatnajökull ice cap. As the glacier calves most of the ice it releases decays within the lake and the addition of the stored fresh water ...

Rethinking the Lake History of Taylor Valley, Antarctica During the Ross Sea I Glaciation
GeosciencesThe Ross Sea I glaciation, marked by the northward advance of the Ross Ice Sheet (RIS) in the Ross Sea, east Antarctica, corresponds with the last major expansion of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet during the last glacial period. During its advance, the RIS

About the possible existence of the Selizharovo proglacial lake
Limnology and Freshwater BiologyThe formation of the incision valley near Selizharovo is associated with the existence of a proglacial lake in the Late Valdai. Geological and hypsometric data indicate its possible level is not lower than 205 m and not higher than 210 m asl. However, at this level of the lake, a incision would not be possible, since the edges of the valley are located

The Spokane flood controversy [PDF]
An enormous plexus of proglacial channels that eroded into the loess and basalt of the Columbia Plateau, eastern Washington is studied. This channeled scabland contained erosional and depositional features that were unique among fluvial phenomena ...

Geographic Variation of Cirques on Iceland: Factors Influencing Cirque Morphology
, 2017 Cirques are one of the most common glacial landforms in alpine settings. They also provide important paleoclimate information (e.g. Meierding 1984; Evans 2006). The purpose of this study is to fill in gaps in the climate record of Iceland by conducting a

Annals of GlaciologyKnowledge of how glaciations formed landscapes is particularly important as receding glaciers currently uncover subglacial landscapes that are prone to a series of natural hazards, but that also bring opportunities for hydropower or water resources.

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & RiskThe ongoing trend of warming climate has made Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) a major cryospheric hazard worldwide, especially in the Himalayas. GLOFs in the Himalayan region are mostly caused by moraine-dammed proglacial lakes and ice-dammed lakes.
