#Thwaites #Totten breach and #GreenlandAquifer #GLOF remain the other major sources of #sealevelrise.

Aggregating these is an error, very markedly different scenarios.

High frequency of moraine-dammed lake outburst floods driven by global warming - Nature Communications The study presents an updated global inventory of glacial lake outburst floods, revealing a sharp rise in event frequency since the 1980s and a strong delayed link to climate warming, highlighting gro...

"... glacier recession and glacial lake expansion proceed synchronously, as do triggering events and resultant GLOFs, both producing immediate impacts and without appreciable delays between them."

4/6 🚨 ISRO’s Landslide Atlas 2023 ranked Darjeeling as HIGH RISK (35/147 districts)! Warnings from NGOs & reports (like Sikkim’s 2001 Human Dev Report) are often ignored 😔. #RiskAssessment #EarlyWarning #GLOF

Ok, next level. Simulating a landslide hitting a proglacial lake, producing a #GLOF. Note that the flood is (not yet) able to erode but just spills through two channels. In reality, the displacement wave would probably incise and widen the outflow channels, triggering a more severe flood downstream.

Amid Recent Flood Tragedies, Kishtwar’s Overlooked GLOF Risk Plan Spotlights Looming Threats to Lives and Infrastructure KISHTWAR, SEPTEMBER 4, 2025 – In the wake of devastating flash floods that claimed over 70 lives across Jammu and Kashmir’s Chenab Valley last month, a government-commissioned report on Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) in Kishtwar district has emerged as a stark reminder of unaddressed vulnerabilities in this Himalayan region. Prepared by the District Disaster […]

Very nice overview of the recent #GLOF in Pakistan by @sgascoin.bsky.social!
There is so much going on these days, it’s great that various people in the community manage to find time to document these events! Fingers crossed that nobody was harmed. www.cesbio.cnrs.fr/multitemp/ra...

Catching a Jökulhlaup in action is an extraordinary event to witness. I flew over this lake every day for a month waiting for this moment. Watch till the end to see why.

According to the USGS, glacial lakes form in small side valleys that have lost ice.
Over time, as the ice-free basins fill with water, USGS said, lakes reach a breaking point where water pressure opens up a drain underneath the glacier that releases the water downstream, which can result in a #GLOF.

Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) - AntarcticGlaciers.org A glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) is a release of meltwater from a moraine- or ice-dam glacial lake due to dam failure1,2. GLOFs often result in catastrophic flooding downstream, with major geomorp...

'Government officials said shortly after the disaster that the flood was caused by an intense "cloudburst" of rain.

However, experts assessing the damage suggested that it was only the final trigger, adding to days of prolonged rains that had already soaked and loosened the ground.'
