Limits and challenges to compiling and developing a database of glacial lake outburst floods

Emmer, Adam; Vilímek, Vít; Huggel, Christian; Klimeš, Jan; Schaub, Yvonne (2016). Limits and challenges to compiling and developing a database of glacial lake outburst floods. Landslides, 13(6):1579-1584.

Abstract

A unified database of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) has been created for analysis and future natural hazard evaluations. The data from individual case studies fill the database at a primary level, while the regional and global scales are more suitable for evaluating the information. There is enhanced research activity in this topic worldwide due to ongoing environmental changes, and this is apparent in the database. Database compilation is linked to the International Programme on Landslides (IPL) because different types of slope movements are the most common triggering factors for glacial lake outburst floods, and the outburst floods, on the other hand, often initiate different types of slope movements.
