The imprint of erosion by glacial lake outburst floods in the topography of central himalayan rivers

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

Fierce debates have centered on the notion that a "glacial erosion buzz-saw" limits the total height and relief of mountain ranges (Brozović et_al, 1997; Egholm et_al, 2009; Thomson et_al, 2010; Cunningham et_al, 2019), but even the pro- ponents of this idea generally assume that the influence of glacial erosion fades below the ELA (Prasicek et_al, 2018). The resulting floods can scour river valleys for tens to hundreds of kilometers downstream (Cenderelli and Wohl, 2003; Baynes et_al, 2015; Jacquet et_al, 2017; Lang et_al, 2013; Cook et_al, 2018), in some cases mobilizing boulders that otherwise . . .
