Chilean glacial lake outburst flood impacts on dam construction
Four Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOF) occurred in the Colonia Glacier (Northern Patagonia Icefield, Chile) from April 2008 to March 2009. Lago Cachet 2 emptied four times producing a maximum excess discharge in the downstream Rio Baker of about 2,500 m3/s. These events have occurred at the same …

Formation and Drainage of Glacier Dammed Dań Zhùr (Donjek) Lake, Yukon
Dań Zhùr (Donjek) Glacier, located in the St. Elias Mountains, Yukon, is a surge-type glacier that undergoes cyclical periods of rapid advance over a period of ~1-2 years, followed by retreat for a period of ~10 years (Kochtitzky et al., 2019). Dań Zhùr Chù’ (Donjek River) runs perpendicular to the …

Observing the Seasonal Evolution of Supraglacial Ponds in High Mountain Asia: A Supervised Classification Approach
… drain during Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) events, which presents a hazard risk to local populations (Nie et al., 2018). Furthermore, the rate of glacier surface mass loss is locally enhanced by supraglacial ponds, so that supraglacial ponds influence the sensitive response of HMA …
