    Sammanfattning : Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are an increasingly documented threat across the Himalayan region, wherein Nepal is situated. GLOFs involve a rapid discharge of water from a lake situated at the side, front, within, beneath, or on the surface of a glacier. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Glacial lake flood hazard assessment and modelling : a GIS perspective

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Sammanfattning : High mountain regions have experienced decreased glacier stability due to varying climate conditions. As glaciers melt, they are being replaced by glacial lakes of different sizes, some of which are prone to outburst flooding, and have caused catastrophic damage to downstream settlements and infrastructure.

    Sammanfattning : Due to the climate warming effects the glacier lakes of the Khumbu has started to form and grow in size and the natural moraine dams give poor support to the expanding lakes. In order to find out how much the sherpa people wants to contribute to build the safety measures that can protect them from the effects of a glacier lake outburst flood this paper investigates their willingness to contribute with work time.
