Seminar by Olivier Gagliardini (Université Grenoble Alpes, France):
Glacier-related hazard: the case of the Bossons lake and its artificial drainage during the summer 2023
Abstract: For this seminar, I will start presenting a bestiary of glacier-related hazards within the Alps, from cold hanging glaciers to water pocket within glaciers. The rest of the talk will focus on hazards related to proglacial lakes partly damed by glacier. The hazards associated with such lakes will be presented trough some past examples. I will then focus on the artificial drainage of the Bossons lake trough a supraglacial channel that was dig this summer and the analyse of the drainage.
The talk is in Aud 1 in the Geology Building. It is also possible to follow at Zoom.
Video link to the lecture will be sent to the mailing lists alle@geo and geohyd-info@geo. If you want to subscribe to the geohyd-info@geo list send an email to Anita.
