Declining discharge of glacier outburst floods through the Holocene in central Patagonia

Gerardo Benito et al.

Summary: Glacier outburst floods pose a major hazard, but global analyses have shown a reduced frequency in recent decades. A Holocene palaeoflood record from the Rio Baker in Chile quantifies discharge and timing of glacier floods over millennial timescales, with highest flood frequencies occurring at 4.3-4.4 ka. The largest modern outburst flood recorded surpassed around 3810 m(3)/s in magnitude, indicating a decline in glacier flood magnitude over time.

Satellite imaging reveals increased proportion of population exposed to floods

B. Tellman et al.

Summary: Satellite imagery from 2000 to 2018 indicates that the proportion of global population exposed to floods is increasing, highlighting the importance of investing in flood adaptation strategies to reduce loss of life and livelihood. Changes in where and how floods occur, as well as the population exposed, are being influenced by urbanization, flood mitigation infrastructure, and settlements in floodplains. The high spatial and temporal resolution of satellite observations will enhance understanding of flood changes and adaptation methods.
