| Scope |
In Himalayan countries, hazard from glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs)
is an urgent environmental and economical issue. At present a firm
link between global warming and GLOF events is not yet established.
We will hold this session in order to improve our knowledge on GLOFs
including detailed glaciological and hydrological processes and
provide a comprehensive understanding of GLOFs' mechanisms. |
