Mar 21, 2023 · Breaches in glacial lake dams threaten millions around the world, and scientists are investigating how climate change might affect that risk. Imja Tsho is potentially one of Nepal’s most ...
Sep 1, 2024 · Although satellite imagery has provided a comprehensive record of the position and dynamics of moraine-dammed glacial lakes in recent years, it is still necessary to include cutting-edge technologies to evaluate the Himalayan GLOF hazard aims that remain unexplored (Kimothi et al., 2022). A search of keywords, “Mountainous floods” or “flash floods” or “Glacial Lake outburst floods ...
Dec 1, 2022 · The GLOF hazard may increase in these regions that currently have large glaciers, but few lakes, if future projected ice loss generates more unstable moraine-dammed lakes than we recognize today.
Mar 21, 2023 · How Risky Are They? | Breaches in glacial lake dams threaten millions around the world, and scientists are investigating how climate change might affect that risk. | Find, read and cite all the ...
Oct 26, 2023 · Debris from the flood formed a moraine-dammed lake called Chheche Pokhari Lake on the Pabuk Khola River, around 2 kilometers downstream from the lake (Byers et al., 2020). Statistics show about 80% of GLOF events are triggered by glacier collapse or rockfall-induced ice avalanches (Awal et al., 2011). In recent years, human activities have ...
Mar 10, 2019 · In addition to the increasing GLOF frequency in Chilean Patagonia and, hence, especially where dynamic temperate glaciers exist, it is worth pointing out that, although less common, GLOFs from lakes dammed by high altitude cold-based glaciers located at lower latitudes have already been reported and analysed (Iribarren Anacona et al., 2018a, Iribarren Anacona et al., 2018b). The associated ...
