Surge dynamics and lake outbursts of Kyagar Glacier, Karakoram
The recent surge cycle of Kyagar Glacier, in the Chinese Karakoram, caused formation of an ice-dammed lake and subsequent glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) exceeding 40 million m<sup>3</sup> in 2015 and 2016. GLOFs from Kyagar Glacier reached double this size in 2002 and earlier, but...
