Dynamic simulation of catastrophic late Pleistocene glacial-lake drainage, Altai Mountains, central Asia

Numerical simulations of the catastrophic draining of Pleistocene glacial-lake Kuray-Chuja quantify the discharge history of the draining event in detail. The plan-view basin flows are modelled as water emptied due to the instantaneous failure of the impounding ice-dam when the lake was at maximum c...
