Quantifying environmental controls on the magnitude of glacial lake outburst floods and the resulting impacts to hydrology and geomorphology: Lago Cachet Dos, Patagonia, Chile
The sudden release of water from an ice-dammed lake poses substantial hazard to the downstream environment, but the degree to which peak discharge depends on environmental variables that change with climate remains unclear. We combine in situ measurements of environmental variables with …

Formation and Drainage of Glacier Dammed Dań Zhùr (Donjek) Lake, Yukon
… block the river, leading to the formation of an ice-dammed lake (Kochtitzky et al., 2020). The glacier most recently surged between 2012 and 2014, and since then Dań Zhùr Lake has drained three times: in 2017, 2018 and 2019. When a glacier dam fails, the drainage of the lake can be catastrophic …

Applied geology in the Beulah-Hazen area, Mercer County, west-central North Dakota
… fill is believed to have been laid down in an ice-dammed lake. The third fill was deposited as a wall-to-wall fill between Beulah and Hazen, and within a newly cut, ice marginal valley east of Hazen.</p> <p>Flooding, mine sinkhole subsidence, slump and sliding, and drifting sand are existing or …

The glacial and periglacial history of a Middle Pleistocene ice-margin of the British Ice Sheet (BIS) in north Buckinghamshire, England and its influence on geotechnical variability
… that there were at least two advances of glacier ice into the area, separated by the development of a large, proglacial ice-dammed lake. OSL dating has determined minimum ages of glacigenic sediment deposition between 145±10 ka and 205 ±13 ka. This implies that the glacial events are at least late …
