Abstract Outburst floods in mountainous landscapes traverse complex topography and interact with the channel valley walls, producing intense flow hydraulics that drive geomorphic change impact people infrastructure. Evidence of modern ancient outburst is scattered around eastern Himalaya, but related to these features are uncharacterized, limiting our understanding role large long‐term evolution region. Here we combine remote field observations 2000 Yigong River landslide‐dam flood 2‐D...
Abstract Profound effects of episodic megafloods (≥10 6 m 3 /s) have been observed on Earth and Mars. Quaternary sourced from valley‐blocking glaciers the Tibetan Plateau likely play an important role in geomorphic evolution Yarlung‐Tsangpo Gorge mountain landscape eastern Himalaya. We use first 2D numerical simulation a megaflood reconstructed 81 km lake to analyze flood hydraulics examine erosional depositional potential landscapes. The simulated has duration >60 hr peak discharge 3.1 ×...
<p>Quaternary megafloods (10<sup>6</sup> m<sup>3</sup>/s) sourced from valley blocking glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau have long been implicated in evolution of Yarlung-Tsangpo Gorge Yarlung-Siang River. However, past estimates megaflood erosion this region relied back envelope peak discharge and shear stress. This makes it difficult to fully understand how shape landscape. Here, we use 2D numerical simulations hydraulics...
