Special Paper 386, Reconstruction of Pleistocene
Ice-Dammed Lake Outburst Floods in the Altai Mountains,
Siberia by Jurgen Herget (2005) Geological Society of
America, Boulder, Colorado [www.geosociety.org]

"Describes the remnants of the repeated jokulhlaups and
key features of the local Pleistocene environment, where
some of the largest floods in Earth’s history occurred.
The volume also focuses on the paleohydraulic
interpretation of the traces of the floods to reconstruct
their magnitudes and characteristics."
