Assessing the potential impact of glacial lake outburst floods on individual objects using a high-performance hydrodynamic model and open-source data

Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are one of the major natural hazards in certain populated mountainous areas, e.g., the Himalayan region, which may lead to catastrophic consequences including substantial loss of lives. Evaluating the potential socio-economic impact of GLOFs is essential for risk...
