Identification of Hazard and Risk for Glacial Lakes in the Nepal Himalaya Using Satellite Imagery from 2000-2015
Glacial lakes in the Nepal Himalaya can threaten downstream communities and have large socio-economic consequences if an outburst flood occurs. This study identified 131 glacial lakes in Nepal in 2015 that are greater than 0.1 km2 and performed a first-pass hazard and risk assessment for each lake. The hazard assessment included mass entering the lake, the moraine stability, and how lake expans...
متن کاملPaleohydraulics of the last outburst flood from glacial Lake Agassiz and the 8200 BP cold event
During the last deglaciation of North America, huge proglacial lakes formed along the southern margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. The largest of these was glacial Lake Agassiz, which formed about 11:7 C kyr and drained into Hudson Bay about 7:7 C kyr ð8:45 cal kyrÞ: Overflow from these lakes was variably directed to the Mississippi, St. Lawrence and Mackenzie drainage systems and it is thought...
متن کاملEvaluations for Potential of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (glofs) in the Bhutan Himalaya Using Prism and Avnir-2 Onboard Alos
The objectives of this study are to validate generated Digital Surface Models (DSMs) by PRISM onboard the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS, nicknamed “Daichi”) in snow and glacier regions to contribute to the evaluation of potential Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) and their mitigation in the Bhutan Himalaya. Glacial lake inventory will also be generated to investigate the expansion ...
متن کاملThe use of one- and two-dimensional hydraulic modelling to reconstruct a glacial outburst flood in a steep Alpine valley
In most cases authors are permitted to post their version of the article (e.g. in Word or Tex form) to their personal website or institutional repository.

متن کاملDigital landscapes of deglaciation: Identifying Late Quaternary glacial lake outburst
High resolution DEMs obtained from LiDAR topographic data have led to 9 improved landform inventories (e.g. landslides and fault scarps) and understanding of 10 geomorphic event frequency. Here we use airborne LiDAR mapping to investigate 11 meltwater pathways associated with the Tweed Valley palaeo ice-stream (UK). In particular 12 we focus on a gorge downstream of Palaeolake Milfield, previou...
