   Sep 20, 2024 · GLOFs, driven by climate change-induced glacier melt, present a serious threat to downstream communities in mountainous regions. The present study addresses this pressing issue by employing a systematic methodology to analyze scientific literature on GLOF risk management and hazard mitigation. The research synthesizes key insights through thematic analysis, focusing on GLOF hazard mitigation ...

   Oct 21, 2024 · Mountain settlements in the Himalayas, where numerous such glacial lakes are created, are seriously at risk from glacial lake outburst floods (Clague and Mathews Citation 1973; Ding and Liu Citation 1992; Ahmed Citation 2024). Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are catastrophic occurrences that take place when a glacial lake, impounded by a glacier or moraine, breaks, releasing a significant ...

   Are glacial lakes a source of glacial lake outburst floods?

   • Global glacier mass loss has accelerated, producing more and larger glacial lakes. Many of these glacial lakes are a source of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), which pose threats to people and infrastructure. In this Review, we synthesize global changes in glacial lakes and GLOFs.

   Are glacial lake outburst floods dangerous?

   • Today, due to socioeconomic expansion into high mountain regions 6,7, more people are living near dangerous glacial lakes and GLOFs pose a greater risk to downstream communities than ever before. How do Glacial Lake Outburst Floods occur? Not all glacial lakes will produce GLOFs. Whether a glacial lake produces a GLOF depends on a range of factors.

   How do we assess glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) hazard?

   • Methods to map glacial lakes (red), estimate lake volume and peak (yellow) and assess glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) susceptibility and simulation (blue). Glacial lake mapping, estimates of GLOF susceptibility, volume and peak discharge, and hydrodynamic simulations provide important baseline integrated data for GLOF hazard assessment.
