冰湖溃决洪水（GLOFs）是指源自冰湖（包括jokulhlaups）的特定低频、高量级洪水，在世界各地冰川化地区冰川冰损失和冰湖演变的背景下，开展这方面的研究是有充分理由的。在过去的几十年里，人们观察到越来越多的GLOF研究活动，这些活动被越来越多的已发表的研究项目所记录;然而，对GLOF研究界，其全球文献计量学，地理位置和研究趋势的全面洞察却缺失了。为了填补这一空白，我们分析了1979年至2016年期间发表在Web of Science数据库中的892项GLOF研究项目。对一般文献计量学特征、引文和参考文献进行了分析，揭示了出版范式随着时间的推移发生的某种变化。此外，还研究了全球政府间财务框架研究的全球地理分布，重点是㈠在何处研究全球政府间财务框架，㈡谁研究全球政府间财务框架，㈢全球政府间财务框架研究的出口和㈣国际合作。在更广泛的背景下讨论了所观察到的趋势以及与未来挑战的联系。
Research on glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) -specific low-frequency, high-magnitude floods originating in glacial lakes, including jokulhlaups - is well justified in the context of glacier ice loss and glacial lake evolution in glacierized areas all over the world. Increasing GLOF research activities, which are documented by the increasing number of published research items, have been observed in the past few decades; however, comprehensive insight into the GLOF research community, its global bibliometrics, geographies and trends in research is missing. To fill this gap, a set of 892 GLOF research items published in theWeb of Science database covering the period 1979-2016 was analysed. General bibliometric characteristics, citations and references were analysed, revealing a certain change in the publishing paradigm over time. Furthermore, the global geographies of research on GLOFs were studied, focusing on (i) where GLOFs are studied, (ii) who studies GLOFs, (iii) the export of research on GLOFs and (iv) international collaboration. The observed trends and links to the challenges ahead are discussed and placed in a broader context.
