As the climate continues to change, the threat of glacial lake outburst floods is becoming an increasingly pressing concern. These devastating events have the potential to cause widespread destruction and loss of life, and yet, they remain largely unpredictable. In this video, we explore the risks associated with glacial lake outburst floods and examine the latest research in flood prediction and climate resilience. From the science behind these catastrophic events to the innovative strategies being developed to mitigate their impact, we delve into the complex issue of future flooding and ask: are glacial lake outburst floods imminent? Tune in to find out.
