Bog bursts are sudden and often catastrophic events that occur when a mass of saturated peat or bog material collapses, typically due to heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt. This collapse can lead to the release of large amounts of water and debris, creating a flow that can damage ecosystems, infrastructure, and property. The phenomenon is particularly common in areas with steep slopes and unstable peatlands. Effective management and monitoring of these environments are crucial to mitigate risks associated with bog bursts.
