📢Call for abstracts! Join #EGU2026 session NH10.5: “Towards Effective Multi-Hazard Communication in Mountain Regions”🌍 Share insights on recent #Alps & #Himalayan #cascades and ways to improve #multihazards #riskcommunication. https://t.co/pligeUA87o

Settlement expansion seems heavily dependent on the embankment — a false sense of safety driving rapid growth and flooding! Truly unfortunate! Image: Dharali village, Uttarkashi before the flood, embankments clearly visible on both riverbanks. Location: https://t.co/lRjmj8K8g1

Excited to share that my first PhD paper is listed as a Top Viewed Article of 2023 in Earth Surface Processes and Landforms (Wiley)! Grateful to my supervisors and co-authors. @EdinburghUni Paper link: https://t.co/8yNGV3UZCc #TopViewedArticle #Wiley #PhDResearch #Geomorphology

Geomorphologists often study climate change impacts without involving local communities in the research. The Sediment Cascades workshop in Chile aimed to combat this through meaningful engagement with community members. New blog post by @rmharries et al!

If you’re attending #AGU24, we invite you to visit our poster, EP41C-1213: Impact of Varying Embanked Channel Widths on Flood Risk in the WRR, Nepal. Join us in Hall B-C during the poster session from 8:30-12:30 today and we’d greatly appreciate your feedback 😊! @HughSinclair

🚨 PhD opportunity - The future of Himalayan glacial lakes: uncovering subsurface features and instabilities with fieldwork and remote sensing observations. Funding and application through YES DTN https://t.co/sxrKAs2bWt

Here are simulated sediment erosion/deposition & flood maps for a 1000-yr flood based on records 1992-2017, similar to a 25-yr max.mid-future flood, show sedimentation reduces channel capacity, leading to overtopping & worsening flooding during extreme events downstream in Nakkhu

Pleased to share our recent paper highlighting the need to incorporate #SedimentTransport and extreme floods in designing river embankments & urban expansion in floodplains in the context of #RapidUrbanization #RiverEncroachment #MiningActivies in #Nakkhu https://t.co/IakH2O2PPp

Interested in joining our group here in Cambridge and doing a PhD on large-scale remote-sensing, multihazard analysis and modelling, or other hazard/risk projects? We have various funding schemes for local & international students, due in early December. Get in touch to discuss.

A Himalayan river may be making Everest taller

Furthermore, #Nakkhu, a large southern tributary of #Bagmati, the riverbed aggradation by sedimentation near its downstream confluence n in flat terrain seems to have reduced channel capacity. Sediment from upstream activities such as quarries n landslides is the next challenge.

Sept 27, 2024, #Kathmandu recorded its highest historic rainfall in 54 yrs, more in south up to 323 mm in just 24 hrs. The #extreme #climate with urban expansion by #floodplain #encroachment , resulted in significant losses and highlighted #urgent need for future precautions.

Dredging: Just finished a pre-record for @BBCLookNorth with @peter_levy - great to chat - but most of the viewers seem to think dredging can address many flood problems. For anyone wanting to know more about dredging - this report is a good place to start:
