This is what a glacial lake outburst flood looks like

Abstract: As the climate changes and glaciers melt, a lesser-known threat lurks in alpine areas: glacial lake outburst floods. These events happen rapidly, releasing huge amounts of water with little or no warning. Unsuspecting communities lying in the flood path can suffer serious losses. Researchers seek better ways to predict these outburst floods and mitigate their danger. Take a hike through the Swiss Alps with glaciologist Fabian Walter to learn about this phenomenon and our ongoing efforts to understand it.

Glacial Lake outburst flood

Abstract: This is a very rare thing at a local backyard glacier - a large lake of icy water formed on or under the glacier, then melted through the ice and poured into the lake down below, flooding the lake and sending the river into a rage. there are a few other glaciers around here where this happens every single year. but it's news for us.

Glacial lake outburst flood

Abstract: A glacial lake outburst flood, or GLOF, is sudden release of water from a lake fed by glacier melt that has formed at the side, in front, within, beneath or on the surface of a glacier. It can be impounded by moraine complexes, glacial ice or even bedrock and, as a result of breaching, slope failure, overtopping or other failure mechanisms, can lead to catastrophic phenomena in the high mountains that threaten people’s lives, livelihoods and regional infrastructure

Glacial moulin formation triggered by rapid lake drainage

Abstract: Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory and collaborators are uncovering the mystery of how, where and when a glacial feature called a moulin can form on the Greenland Ice Sheet. Moulins, drain-like holes that form in glaciers, funnel meltwater from the ice surface to the ground beneath, and they are the alarmingly efficient conduits that allow surface water to reach deep and drive the ice to flow faster.

What is Glacial Lake Outburst Flood? How and why a glacier breaks? #UPSC #IAS

Abstract: A glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) is a type of outburst flood caused by the failure of a dam containing a glacial lake. An event similar to a GLOF, where a body of water contained by a glacier melts or overflows the glacier, is called a jökulhlaup. The dam can consist of glacier ice or a terminal moraine. Failure can happen due to erosion, a buildup of water pressure, an avalanche of rock or heavy snow, an earthquake or cryoseism, volcanic eruptions under the ice, or massive displacement of water in a glacial lake when a large portion of an adjacent glacier collapses into it.

Bhutan Glacial Lake Outburst Flood 1994

Abstract: In October 1994, a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) occurred in the Himalayan country of Bhutan, causing significant damages and loss of life. GLOF events are particularly hazardous in Bhutan because so many of Bhutan's people live in the bottoms of the narrow valleys that run down from the high mountains. Increasing global temperatures have increased the rate of glacial melting in Bhutan and elsewhere, increasing the frequency and severity of GLOF events.

Glacial Lake Missoula Flood

Abstract: This movie shows a physics-based computer simulation of the Great Flood from Glacial Lake Missoula about 15,000 years ago. At the time, an ice dam blocked the Clark Fork River near the Idaho-Montana border and backed up a lake about equal in volume to Lake Huron. When the ice dam broke a cataclysmic flood scoured much of central Washington State leaving a vast region covered with erosional remnants.

GLOF risk mitigation at Imja Lake

Abstract: Located at an altitude of 5,010 metres in Solukhumbu district, Imja covers an area of 1.28 sq. km, at a depth of 148.9 meters, and holds 75.2 million cubic meters of water—the overflow of which poses a serious threat to people living downstream. The Community-Based Flood and Glacial Lake Outburst Risk Reduction Project (CFGORRP)--a joint undertaking of UNDP, the Government of Nepal and the Global Environment Facility (GEF)--along with the Army, intervened to lower the water level in Imja Lake by 3.4 metres. This helped to minimize the risk of outburst, rendering more than 87,000 people safer in downstream communities.
