TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of satellite imagery, seismic records, numerical model results, and eyewitness videos reveals that ~27x106 m3 of rock and glacier ice collapsed from the steep north face of Ronti Peak.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subglacial basins: Their origin and importance in glacial systems and landscapes
Simon J. Cook,Darrel A. Swift +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an integrated review of subglacial basin occurrence and formation and the implications of such basins for glaciological processes and the evolution of landscape, and they show that, in a warming climate, ice masses resting on adverse slopes will be vulnerable to rapid and potentially catastrophic retreat; new lakes in sub-glacial basins exposed by mountain glacier retreat will present an increasing hazard; and sub glacial lakes may drain catastrophically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneity in Karakoram glacier surges
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify eight recent surges in the region and map their surface velocities using cross-correlation feature tracking on optical satellite imagery, and propose that these surges represent a spectrum of flow instabilities and the processes controlling their evolution may vary on a glacier by glacier basis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the volume of Alpine glacial lakes
Simon J. Cook,Duncan J. Quincey +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the performance of existing empirical relationships to predict lake volume given a measurement of lake surface area obtained from satellite imagery such relationships are based on the notion that lake depth, area and volume scale predictably.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glacier change and glacial lake outburst flood risk in the Bolivian Andes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the development of proglacial lakes in the Bolivian Andes and identify 25 lakes that pose a potential GLOF threat to downstream communities and infrastructure.
