CzechGlobe a part of a global study on climate change influence on GLOF occurrence
Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF) occur due to the failure or overtopping of the dam of a glacial lake. These floods are characterised by low frequency of occurrence but high magnitude. Peak discharge of GLOF may overcome peak discharge of „classical“ hydrometeorologically-induced flood by several times, thus GLOFs represent significant hazardous process, especially in high mountain areas where glacier retreat leads to the formation and evolution of glacial lakes. Understanding to the spatiotemporal patterns of GLOFs occurrence is essential for more advanced GLOF risk management.
