Learn more about glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF) – the catastrophic release of a water reservoir that has formed at the site of a glacier – which pose significant risks for those living below melting glaciers. 🟠 Ice-dammed lakes can develop at the margin of an advancing glacier, when side-valleys or depressions at the side of the glacier become truncated and blocked. Over time, as the glaciers retreat, the support of the ice dam is removed and the lake may drain catastrophically, causing fl

Take a hike through the Swiss Alps with glaciologist Fabian Walter to learn about this phenomenon and our ongoing efforts to under

This time-lapse from May 1st to August 7th captures the dramatic rise and fall of water levels in Suicide Basin during the outburst. The basin was formed as rising temperatures re
