Proglacial lakes are ubiquitous within the Quaternary record and can provide exceptional
breadth and depth of palaeoenvironmental information. Present deglaciation is increasing …

Reconstructing the growth and decay of palaeo-ice sheets is critical to understanding
mechanisms of global climate change and associated sea-level fluctuations in the past …

There is growing recognition that sedimentary deposits related to high-energy, large-scale,
freshwater floods are widespread across the continents and, in the main, can be related to …

Research on glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs)–specific low-frequency, high-magnitude
floods originating in glacial lakes, including jökulhlaups–is well justified in the context of …

The recession of mountain glaciers around the world has been linked to anthropogenic
climate change and small glaciers (eg< 2km2) are thought to be particularly vulnerable, with …

Glacier retreat is considered to be one of the most obvious manifestations of recent and
ongoing climate change in the majority of glacierized alpine and high-latitude regions …

Cataclysmic outburst floods transformed landscapes and caused abrupt climate change
during the last deglaciation. Whether such events have also characterized previous …

The Southern part of the Russian Altai Mountains is recognized for its evidence of
catastrophic glacial lake outbursts. However, little is known about the late Pleistocene …

The middle reaches region of the Yarlung Tsangpo in the southern Tibetan Plateau consist
of broad valley reaches, alternating with gorges, which were easily dammed by glaciers …

Numerical simulations of the catastrophic draining of Pleistocene glacial-lake Kuray–Chuja
quantify the discharge history of the draining event in detail. The plan-view basin flows are …
