⛺️ 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.

A friend posted a photo of a book "Bird Tales From The Himalayas".

Apart from sharing a folklore, I & the group I work with organized a book launch

Apart from the eye catching cover & an association with the book I also just happen to live across from the peaks in the cover.

So photo of the book caught my eye & Iit had to be followed up.

“HIGHLIGHTS:
• ViT-based forest mask, multispectral ensemble LandTrendr and terrain shadow mask.
• District-level RF/XGBoost model training with expert-weighted validation.
• Outperformed GFC and REDD + AI benchmarks in accuracy and F1 performance.
• RF excelled in High Mountains/Himalayas; XGBoost in the lower Mountain regions.
• NBR contributed the most; snow-impacted forest loss uncertainty was observed..."

🥶🔍 Oh no, the #Himalayas are turning into a barren #wasteland because winter is slacking off on snow duty! Scientists "warn" us with their serious faces while we all collectively yawn and scroll past the BBC's infinite scrolling chaos. Remember, if it's not melting faster than your ice cream on a hot day, it's probably not newsworthy. 🌍🔬

'The lightning is restless as it flashes in the turbulent clouds.
The peacocks announce the mating of earth & sky with their shrill cries.
All lovers meet in the month of Shravana- so then why forsake me my love?'
