   Why are glacial lake outbursts a risk factor?

   • The occurrence of GLOF disasters is due to both natural and social factors and their interactions. Risk factors not only include the hazard of glacial lake outburst (outburst probability), but also involve the related vulnerability and adaptation capacity of exposed elements such as population, road networks, and other infrastructure.
