“…GLOFs are described as lowfrequency, high-magnitude events with major geomorphic consequences (Costa and Schuster, 1988;Evans and Clague, 1994;Clague and Evans, 2000), extreme hydrological characteristics (Richardson and Reynolds, 2000;Cenderelli and Wohl, 2003;Cook et al, 2018) and possibly adverse impacts on societies (Carey, 2005;Huggel et al, 2015;Carrivick and Tweed, 2016). While more than 1300 historical GLOFs have been catalogued throughout the world by Carrivick and Tweed (2016), recent studies show that this number is likely a lower bound for many regions (Emmer, 2017;Nie et al, 2018;Veh et al, 2019;Zheng et al, 2021a;Emmer et al, 2022). Recently Veh et al (2022) compiled a dataset of more than 2800 GLOFs globally.…”
