Nepal is Paying the Price for a Climate Crisis It Did Little to Create https://www.byteseu.com/2350501/ #ClimateChange #ClimateChangeHimalayas #ClimateCrisis #environment #Himalayas #JammuAndKashmir #Nepal #NepalFloods

⛺️ NEW: #Everest Base Camp becomes a temporary settlement of about 1,600 tents on the #Khumbu Glacier each #spring for roughly 50 days.

Heat from burned fuel and warm urine contributes to local #glacier melt, with fuel responsible for about 94% of the modeled human-caused #warming. Surface temps there are rising faster than in surrounding glacier areas, and researchers suggest the camp could be relocated.

“The steep mountain folds of the Himalayas, already prone to earthquakes, have seen more frequent flash floods as high mountain glaciers melt, redrawing rivers at sometimes terrifying speed.

Residents have had little time to rebuild from one disaster to the next, raising concerns over whether their communities can endure as climate change accelerates.”

Every day, new bodies are recovered in Nepal, but many remain unidentifiable. Several days after the disaster, some are already in an advanced state of decomposition. Morgues in the country's main cities are reaching capacity. Faced with the influx of remains, authorities have begun burying them without formal identification. France 24's special correspondents traveled to Bharatpur, in southern Nepal, to one of these burial sites.

Nepali Prime Minister Balendra Shah said last week's deadly Himalayan flood was "not an ordinary" event but driven by climate change, as he demanded international action. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/09/01/climate-change/nepal-pm-climate-himalayan-disaster/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #environment #climatechange #floods #nepal #glaciers #himalayas #balendrashah

A Himalayan disaster has left nearly 3,000 people missing across Nepal and Tibet.

More than 670 deaths have now been reported.

Hydropower sites, roads, homes and the Gyirong border area suffered major damage.

Foreign tourists and hundreds of workers are among those still missing.

More than 3,700 people have been rescued in Nepal.

H/T @Narayan Thapa | Earth Data Modeling
“Nepal lies within an active seismic zone and is influenced by most dynamic climatic systems in the world. It faces compounding floods and landslide threats. Impacts are worst where multi-hazard interactions create spatially linked corridors. Despite frequent co-occurrence, national-scale assessments remain limited. This study presents machine learning and GIS-based approach to map nationwide susceptibility to floods, landslides, and identify their potential interaction zones, and delineate critical multi-hazard flow zones through spatial adjacency analysis. Using Google Earth Engine, the Random Forest model integrates topographic, climatic, environmental, and hydrological datasets to overcome subjective expert-driven methods. The model achieved strong predictive accuracy (AUC: 0.84 for floods, 0.85 for landslides). The results showed 19% of Nepal’s lowlands are medium to very highly susceptible to inundation, threatening approximately 900,000 people and over 3.4 million buildings; whilst in the hilly terrains, 40% is susceptible to slope-failure endangering 200,000 people and about 0.6 million buildings. K-means clustering followed by spatial adjacency analysis identified four spatial zonation: 81% of national area as low-hazard zone, 9% as flood-only zone, 5% as landslide-only zone, and 5% as interaction zones. Critical multi-hazard flow zone covering 7,588 km² represents spatially connected corridors linking interaction zones to downstream flood-prone populated areas, affecting 88 km² built-up land and 1,722 km² cropland. These zones represent susceptibility-based spatial connectivity rather than physically simulated cascading processes. These findings support recommendations for risk-informed land-use planning, resilient infrastructure development and climate adaptation aligned to sustainable development and investment risk screening…”

“… In hilly regions transitioning rapidly to low gradient alluvial plains, localized hydrometeorological triggers can instantly scale into devastating basin wide disasters. This study dissects the September 2020 cascading hazard in parts of the Arunachal Pradesh-Assam corridor to quantify the rapid coupling between upstream hillslopes and downstream floodplains.
Check out the [attached graphical abstract figure] for an integrated visual workflow of the entire disaster continuum from hillslope failure to floodplain transformation...”

“Extreme precipitation in the Eastern Himalaya is increasingly associated with coupled hillslope-floodplain hazards. This study examines the 17th-18th September 2020 rainfall event in Arunachal Pradesh initiating landslides and its downstream impacts in Assam, India, using multi-sensor satellite data and long-term rainfall records. Sentinel-2 imagery was used to map landslides and debris flows, Sentinel-1 SAR data to delineate flood extent, and IMD gridded rainfall (1996–2020) to analyse rainfall spell characteristics. The event triggered widespread slope failures, localized landslide damming, and a subsequent breach, generating sediment-laden flows that inundated ~ 100 km² of the Dhemaji floodplain. A backscatter-derived Relative Flood Volume Index (RFVI) indicates spatial variability in inundation intensity, although it does not represent absolute flood volume. Rainfall analysis suggests that antecedent wetness from preceding spells preconditioned slopes, while peak daily rainfall (> 170 mm day−1) initiated landsliding. Power-law scaling shows negligible dependence of intensity on duration (R2 ≈ 0.0004), whereas cumulative rainfall exhibits a stronger relationship with duration (R2 ≈ 0.54). These results indicate distinct roles of rainfall intensity and accumulation in controlling landslide initiation and downstream flooding, respectively, highlighting the importance of compound rainfall forcing in rapid hydrogeomorphic cascades…”

In 2022, DJI was able to fly one of their drones over Mt. Everest.

Here's the video recorded by the drone around the highest point on Earth!
https://youtu.be/Zz9oI3B6v4c

In 2024 and 2025, DJI drones, specifically the Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro, achieved record-setting, high-altitude flights over Mount Everest, capturing 8K footage of the summit at 8,848 meters. These drones, often operated with 8KRAW, showcased remarkable stability in high winds (up to 50 km/h) and thin air.

A Red Pierrot (Talicada nyseus) butterfly. Dehradun India.

As per Sanjay Sondhi of Titli Trust, the Red Pierrot was not seen in this region till some years ago. The theory being that this butterfly may have arrived with the boom in Kalanchoe, the host plant, of the Red Pierrot.

Whatever reason this is a beautiful butterfly, both closed wings, or open wings.

#Movies #ClassicMovies . . .

Just rewatched #LostHorizon (1937) on #Tubi, a #FrankCapra movie starring #RonaldColeman & co-starring #JaneWyatt, for the 1s time in years.

I've got this #movie on #DVD but the one on Tubi is the restored 132 min movie; the one that I have on DVD is a shorter cut version.

The movie is about finding the mythical city of #ShangraLa in the #Himalayas. It's a great movie & a "must see," if you're a movie buff & if you've never seen it before.

It's in B&W. They have the full sound track but 6-7 mins of the film was never found in useable condition. I'd rate it 9 out of 10.
