A database of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) has been created to prepare unified and classified data for analysis and future natural hazard evaluations. The data from individual case studies fill the database at a primary level, whereas the regional and global scales are more suitable in the evaluation process.

This database also reflects the enhanced research activities in this topic worldwide as well as the ongoing environmental changes. The link to the International Programme on Landslides (IPL) is given by the facts, that the different types of slope movements are the most common triggering factors for GLOFs and that GLOFs on the other hand may initiate the different types of slope movements
