Dear Christian Huggel and co-authors,

Thank you for the submission of your very interesting manuscript “Anthropogenic climate change and glacier lake outburst flood risk: local and global drivers and responsibilities for the case of Lake Palcacocha, Peru”.

As you know, two reviewers have provided detailed reviews, and two other comments were submitted, which you have replied in thoughtful detail to. Both reviewers recommended minor revisions, and therefore I would like to invite you to submit a revised version of your manuscript.

Would you please also provide an ‘author’s reply’ to the reviewers and other commenters (feel free to use the same words that you used in what you have already uploaded). Please can you also include a track changes document between the old manuscript and the new one (you can include this as part of your ‘author’s reply’).
I respect to the new figure you are planning to integrate into the revised manuscript, I’m convinced that it would be more helpful to have the exposure and the hazard information in one figure, which is surely possible.

I look forward to seeing the next version of your manuscript which I will not send out for further review, given no major items come up in the revised manuscript for which I need outside reviewers to aid me in my decision.

Best Regards
Heidi Kreibich
NHESS Executive Editor
