摘要
Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) have caused tens of millions of dollars of damage to infrastructure and have killed thousands of people worldwide. Based on the formation mechanism of GLOF of moraine-dammed lakes without ice core, 21 GLOFs were selected for the analysis of triggering factors in the Himalayan region. A statistical method was used via the Variable-Controlling Approach (VCA). Six dimensionless impact factors can be used to reasonably assess the GLOFs susceptibility in the Himalayan mountains, southwestern part of Canadian Columbia and northwestern part of the United States, but the threshold values in the Himalayan mountains are larger than those in southwestern part of Canadian Columbia. The dangerous glacier slope factor, the dangerous glacier temperature factor, the glacier aspect factor, the dangerous glacier volume and lake volume factor, the dangerous glacier and lake kinetic factor, and the downstream slope of the moraine-dam factor are major factors for the breaching of moraine-dammed lake and GLOF. The assessment model with these factors may thus be used to assess the hazard of GLOFs occurrence in other areas. © 2022 China University of Geosciences. All rights reserved.
