Supplementary data to: Increasing risk of glacial lake outburst floods from future Third Pole deglaciation

This archive contains data and results produced in a study assessing glacial lakes and related outburst flood hazard and risk on Earth's Third Pole (linked to a journal article: <strong>Increasing risk of glacial lake outburst floods from future Third Pole deglaciation</strong>, published in Nature Climate Change in 2021). <strong>Archive contents</strong> The archive contents are origanised into four parts, each stored as a .zip compressed file. <strong>1. Glacial lake data sets</strong> Glacial lake data sets mapped for 1990 and 2015, and modelled for the future scenarios (2050 and 2100 under RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5; and an ice-free scenario) on the Third Pole. This directory includes: <em>glacial_lakes_1990_v1.shp</em> <em>glacial_lakes_2015_v1.shp</em> <em>projected_glacial_lakes_2050_rcp26.shp</em> <em>projected_glacial_lakes_2050_rcp45.shp</em> <em>projected_glacial_lakes_2050_rcp85.shp</em> <em>projected_glacial_lakes_2100_rcp26.shp</em> <em>projected_glacial_lakes_2100_rcp45.shp</em> <em>projected_glacial_lakes_2100_rcp85.shp</em> <em>projected_glacial_lakes_ice-free.shp</em> <em>metadata.xlsx</em> <strong>2. Hazard and risk assessments</strong> GLOF hazard and risk assessment results for present (2015) and modelled potential glacial lakes (2050 and 2100 under RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5; and an ice-free scenario) on the Third Pole. This directory includes: <em>present_hazard_and_risk_2015.shp</em> <em>projected_hazard_and_risk_2050_rcp26.shp</em> <em>projected_hazard_and_risk_2050_rcp45.shp</em> <em>projected_hazard_and_risk_2050_rcp85.shp</em> <em>projected_hazard_and_risk_2100_rcp26.shp</em> <em>projected_hazard_and_risk_2100_rcp45.shp</em> <em>projected_hazard_and_risk_2100_rcp85.shp</em> <em>projected_hazard_and_risk_ice-free.shp</em> <em>metadata.xlsx</em> <strong>3. Transboundary threats</strong> Potentially dangerous glacial lakes with transboundary GLOF threats for present (2015) and modelled potential glacial lakes (ice-free scenario) on the Third Pole. This directory includes: <em>present_potential_transboundary_glacial_lakes_2015.shp</em> <em>projected_potential_transboundary_glacial_lakes_ice-free.shp</em> <em>cross_border_points_present.shp</em> <em>cross_border_points_projected.shp</em> <em>metadata.xlsx</em> <strong>4. Aggregated results</strong> Region or hydrobasin/interior zone aggregated results for present and modelled potential glacial lakes and related hazard and risk assessments on the Third Pole. This directory includes: <em>region_aggregated.shp</em> <em>basin_aggregated.shp </em> <em>metadata.xlsx</em>
