Description

We provide supplementary data to the manuscript by Veh, G., Korup, O., and Walz A.: "Hazard from Himalayan glacier lake outburst floods".

These datasets (file ending .rds) are ready to use within the R software for statistical programming. Please copy all files into one single directory and follow the instructions given in the scripts. You can find the following scripts on the associated Github page: https://github.com/geveh/GLOFhazard

bayes_lm_piecewise_regression_stan.R

lm_piecewise_const.stan

R_Script_lake_area_vs_max_depth.R

R_Script_Hazard_from_GLOFs_PNAS_supp.R

HDIofMCMC.R

Outputs within the scripts are written to disk, again as R-objects, if not suppressed by the user. Make sure you have at least 100 GB of free disk space.
