Introduction to Ice Dammed Lake

In addition to the large ice-dammed lakes in the Humber and Wash lowlands, we propose that an extensive Glacial Lake Lymn was dammed in the southern Lincolnshire Wolds by the NSL ice margin at the Stickney Moraine.

The State of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) produced a digital surface model (DSM) and an orthorectified aerial image over Valdez Glacier ice-dammed lake in support of glacial lake outburst flood hazard assessment and monitoring.

We present geomorphological evidence of large, previously undocumented, early Holocene ice-dammed lakes in the Scandinavian Mountains of northwestern Sweden.

The mfs facies associated with the very thin, fine-grained sand and varves represent glacio-lacustrine depositional conditions with suitably developed still water bodies and even ice-dammed lakes.

Lake Usma occupies the lowest part of the Late Glacial glacio-depression at the Kursa Lowland (NW Latvia), where the Venta-Usma ice-dammed lake and the Baltic Ice Lake sediments have been accumulated.

During the initial quiescent phase, the subglacial drainage system developed into a stable channelized network, although a jokulhlaup from a large ice-dammed lake occurred.

Drainage of the ice-dammed lake, triggered by renewed glacial recession, was near-synchronous with the onset of a gradual multi-millennial trend toward arboreal dominance that started at ∼16 ka east and west of the Andes at that latitude.

The terrestrial margins of the Middle Pleistocene ice sheets in northern central Europe were characterised by the formation of extensive ice-dammed lakes, which were controlled by the blockage of spillways by the ice margin.

One of the highly debatable issue of the Altai Pleistocene paleogeography is the chronology and extension of the last ice-dammed lakes.

For the first time paleontological, mineralogical characteristics, and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages of lacustrine deposits confirm accumulation of ice-dammed lake with depth at least 170 m in Kurai basin during the second marine isotopic stage (MIS-2 according to SPECMAP scale), 16‒19 ka BP.
