Annual glacial outburst floods from Alaska’s Suicide Basin release huge volumes of water into the Mendenhall River valley in just hours, threatening downstream communities and infrastructure near Juneau. Because traditional monitoring systems are often unable to handle the harsh environment around the basin, ERDC is looking to deploy a rugged, non-contact terrestrial lidar system –…

Annual glacial outburst floods from Suicide Basin present a severe threat to downstream homes, businesses and infrastructure in Juneau, Alaska. As Suicide Glacier retreats, the expanding basin traps massive amounts of seasonal meltwater before suddenly releasing it down the Mendenhall River valley — emptying the basin in 48 hours or less. As the U.S. Army…
