UAS professors on the front-lines of glacial outburst flood prediction

A team of researchers, including two professors at the University of Alaska Southeast, were recently awarded a nearly $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation for a project that will help to better map and predict the Suicide Basin glacial lake outburst flood that has devastated Juneau’s Mendenhall Valley over the past two years. Long term, the project opens up the door to identifying and predicting other outburst flood risk zones across Alaska.

“We have 14 years of research on this flood, but obviously the last two years it was a lot larger and more impactful,” said Dr. Hood, who began his work with Suicide Basin in 2011 after the first associated outburst flood occurred.
