On the International Day of Disaster Risk Reduction, I take this opportunity to highlight one of the most critical and growing risks in the Himalaya, Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs). These instantaneous floods occur when the damming moraine of proglacial lake fails. +

Are you interested in how new ecosystems develop after glacier retreat? 🐛🪻🏔️🪱🌱Then read our newly published global study in @Nature

As glaciers retreat, how quickly does life move in? 🐜🌱🌼 New @Nature research has tracked how new, diverse, and complex ecosystems emerge in these barren landscapes. SAEF researcher @LevanTielidze explains 👉 https://t.co/oxgPt9rLFA

Abstract. Glacial meltwater directly influences glacier dynamics. However, in the case of debris-covered glaciers, the drivers of glacier velocity and the influence of supraglacial lakes have not yet...

Paper alert!!!! Alpine glaciers will lose at least a third of their volume by 2050, whatever happens... If the trend observed over the last 20 years continues at the same rate, almost half the volume of ice will be lost https://t.co/mr85D3Cx98

💡Know your hazards: 🟤The term glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) refers to the catastrophic release of a water reservoir that has formed at the site of a glacier. 🟢Learn more in UNDRR Hazard Information Profiles ➡️ https://t.co/aOVotAszcv

Five back-to-back quakes jolt Zanskar-Kishtwar axis. Just wishing that these quakes don't induce any cascading hazards in the region. 🤞

Glacier thinning is not restricted anymore to the low elevation tongues in the Alps. During mass balance year 2021-22, the highest elevations (up to the Mont-Blanc summit) were seriously impacted by low accumulation and multiple heat waves. https://t.co/iSuP1bIIJm

A seemingly moderate drainage of the lake as viewed from @planet images. That said the hazard cascades here including proglacial lakes with plenty of associated permafrost (patterned ground) and moraine pose huge risk to downstream communities and infrastructure.

Mass movements along the failure zone (top left of the lake) around #southlhonaklake #sikkim have not ceased yet and will continue in all likelihood for some time. This needs continuous space-based, airborne and in situ monitoring Image source: @planet

Some perspectives on the #sikkimflood disaster: 1. A landslide of waterlogged lateral moraine triggered the GLOF. 2. As at Chamoli, the landslide moved tens of m prior to collapse. 3. Anthropogenic activity influenced both the consequences and the triggering of this disaster. 1/8

The pre [27 September 2023] and post [6 October 2023] GLOF images of #SouthLhonakLake from @planet are here. The moraine failure, as pointed out by @WaterSHEDLab, is vividly clear. @ndmaindia @isro @NeilNfg @ccia_geneva @jakobfsteiner @NVallangi @GlacierHazards @ncaor_goa

Fantastic visual the channel of the moraine breach expanded but was evident before from previous high flow events!
A higher resolution look at the South Lhonak Lake GLOF. Water level has lowered but the lake still stretches >2km shown by the smooth surface of the floating ice/sediment @icicle_diaries @BhambriRakesh @vimalkhawas @WaterSHEDLab @Upadhyay_Cavita @realglacier @GlacierHazards

Three happy scientists on a glacier. Parth Sharma, myself and @glacioverse (left to right). We are on Drang Drung Glacier in Zanskar, India. Happy after a very successful day of science, working with @irfansalroo ‘s team.
