Due to global warming, flood-like water outbursts from ice-dammed glacial lakes worldwide happen earlier in the year and originate from higher areas. At the same time, they are also becoming smaller. PIK Scientist Lisa Luna explains how these outburst floods happen and why they might be dangerous.The study was conducted together with Georg Veh and other colleagues from the University of Potsdam.The pictures & video in the video were taken by Georg Veh & Natalie Luetzow.
