Abstract: Rapid growth of proglacial lakes in the current warming climate can pose significant 24 outburst flood hazards, increase rates of ice mass loss, and alter the dynamic state of glaciers. 25 We studied the nature and rate of proglacial lake evolution at Pasterze Glacier (Austria) in the 26 p...
