9 Glacier dammed lakes of Alaska Why Should We Care? Lake releases can flush glacier stored waters, increasing flood volume/duration (subglacial, supraglacial, englacial) Channel scour measure to 3 m in Alaska Sediment or ice flows contribute to damages Sheep Cr. bridge, Richardson Hwy., before & after a glacier dammed lake flood (The bridge is in the same location in both photos!) September 1945 flood, DOT photo Images from Post and Mayo (1971) The flood deposited debris over 7m deep at the bridge from upstream scour.

Glaciers damming new lakes averaged: 11% longer than those damming absent lakes a full order higher (more complex) at terminus
20 Glacier dammed lakes of Alaska Summary The hazard from these lakes continues form of the hazard may change as different drainages are affected as lakes release from farther up glacier flushing as lakes release when winter river ice is present These data are a messenger of change with implications for infrastructure and development that t may be useful in modeling further lake change across the cryosphere Himalayas, Swiss Alps, etc
