title: Supplementary data for "Less extreme and earlier outbursts of ice-dammed lakes since 1900"

description: This respository contains supplementary and source data for the study for<em><strong> Less extreme and earlier outbursts of ice-dammed lakes since 1900</strong></em> by Georg Veh and co-authors. We investigate trends in the peak discharge <em>Q</em><sub>p</sub>, flood volume <em>V</em><sub>0</sub>, timing <em>doy</em> (day of year) and elevation <em>Z</em> of glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs), and focus on ice-dammed lakes. We use Bayesian hierarchical models, implemented in the package <em>brms</em> in in the statistical programming software <em>R</em>. More information on these data, including detailed scripts to process them, are available at available at https://github.com/geveh/IceDamFailures, and archived at 10.5281/zenodo.7326865.
