Catastrophic Nepal–Tibet Outburst Flood Caused by Ice–Rock Avalanche, USGS Confirms Landslide Seismic Signal -
“The Lhende Khola has flooded twice in fourteen months, this time most probably triggered by an ice avalanche blocked the river and released a sudden surge downstream. This still needs to be confirmed, as we receive further information. These are cascading hazards: a cryosphere event becomes a flood in a settlement within hours.”

#Climatechange boosted risk of devastating Himalayan flood, experts say
"Climate change is leading to conditions tt can destabilise high-mountain rock & ice, strengthening prospects for #disasters such as tis week's #Himalayan #flood along te border btw #Nepal & China's #Tibet tt killed 165.. ~800 foreigners r among nearly 1500 missing.. #scientists say it probably began w a massive ice-rock #avalanche"

H/T @abhinav Alangadan
“Can we develop a first-order understanding of permafrost degradation and glacial lakes exposed to degradation-induced mass movements in the Himalaya?
[The authors] tried to address this question. The study [first link above] integrates machine learning, statistical modeling, and numerical modeling to investigate high-resolution permafrost distribution, potential degradation, and associated mass-movement hazards in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, India.
Using rock glaciers as proxies, [they] generated a high-resolution permafrost distribution using machine learning, while potential degradation zones were delineated using the 0°C isotherm as a first-order indicator. [They] further identified glacial lakes located near potentially degrading permafrost zones and reconstructed their bathymetry. A detailed scenario-based GLOF process-chain simulation was then carried out for Kashang Lake using r.avaflow and HEC-RAS.
[Their] results indicate that seven glacial lakes in #Kinnaur are located close to potentially degrading permafrost zones. The simulations further show that a potential GLOF from Kashang Lake could inundate critical downstream infrastructure, including nearly 11 km of National Highway 5…”

🏒 NEW: Super Joe made his Bednar — now he's got to lie in it. #Avalanche legend Joe Sakic is inheriting kind of a mess from ex-GM Chris MacFarland. But the @DenverPost breaks down why firing Jared Bednar NOW only makes it messier: 🔽

"A weak early-season snowpack laid the groundwork for months of instability, and when winter storms arrived, the result was a prolonged period of heightened danger across the continent.
[...]
the most dangerous winters are not always the snowiest or the stormiest. Sometimes, the greatest risk is built quietly, layer by layer, long before the first major snowstorm."

Alpinista morre após ser atingida por uma avalanche no Nepal
A alpinista norte-americana Shelley Johannesen, de 53 anos, morreu durante uma avalanche enquanto descia o Monte Makalu, o quinto pico mais alto do mundo. O acidente aconteceu na segunda-feira (11/5) no Nepal, dois dias após ela alcançar o cume da montanha, que tem 8.485 metros de altura. #avalanche #nepal #alpinista Fique por dentro das principais notícias do Brasil e do mundo no Metrópoles TV.

Seeing Stress in an Avalanche
Researchers sometimes study avalanches and other granular flows in a rolling drum, where grains can cascade down continuously. Here, the twist is that they’ve done it with photoelastic disks, which show stress patterns when viewed under crossed polarizing filters.
In any given moment, the contacts between neighboring particles form a force chain that lights up the disks. In motion, the effect resembles lightning forking and branching across the sky. The close-ups of stress reverberating during impact are especially mesmerizing. (Video and image credit: R. Hodgson et al.)
