The book Hydrodynamic Modelling of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) presents a comprehensive and technically grounded exploration of the processes, data, and modelling approaches required to understand, simulate, and manage GLOF hazards in high mountain regions. Using the Geepang Gath glacier-lake system in the Himalaya as a case study, the book integrates satellite observations and institutional datasets to quantify glacier retreat and lake expansion. The book presents a detailed step-by-step methodology for hydrodynamic modelling of GLOF scenarios using advanced two-dimensional modelling tool of MIKE+. It demonstrates two-dimensional hydrodynamic modelling of dam-breach scenarios to estimate flood magnitude, travel time, and inundation impacts. The book also highlights practical risk-reduction strategies, including monitoring, early warning systems, hazard zonation, and climate-resilient planning, offering a concise resource for researchers and practitioners working in glacierized regions.
