Thame GLOF Caused by Chain Reaction of Geological and Geomorphological Factors
A new study by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) has found that the 2024 glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) in the Everest region was amplified by a complex chain of geological and geomorphological factors.
The study, titled Thame Valley Glacial Lake Outburst Flood – Causes, Impacts, and Future Risks, shows that a rock avalanche triggered a displacement wave in a 4,900-metre-high glacial lake, releasing 156,000 cubic metres of water.
- The outflow fell 120 metres and breached a second moraine-dammed lake, releasing an additional 303,000 cubic metres.
- The resulting hyper-concentrated flow carried debris, including large boulders, up to 80 km downstream.
