Glacier Lake Outburst Flood Database

This dataset is an inventory of globally occurred Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs). Our database encompasses data from 769 different sources including satellite and aerial images, reports from local authorities, scientific publications, news outlets, workshop proceedings, social media posts, and unpublished work.

Files: 
glofdatabase_V3.ods: Database spreadsheet (OpenOffice file) containing all reported GLOFs.
Parameter_Readme.ods: Readme file describing all database parameters (i.e. columns in glofdatabase_V3.ods) and their units.

Our database is an ongoing project and we offer a web-based, interactive map that grants access to the most recent state of the database (http://glofs.geoecology.uni-potsdam.de). Users can also download all previous versions of the database from this interface.
