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.

Flood And Landslide Susceptibility Assessment And Multi Hazard Interaction Mapping Using Machine Learning And GIS For Sustainable Settlement Planning 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 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.

Here are some of the physics challenges involved 👇

There are benches and then there are benches.

Never seen one like this, at charming roadside tea shop, with (shockingly) parking for a dozen vehicles

Among the more interesting furniture was this absolutely delight of a bench made from straight wooden branches, not sure the species , initially thought Chir Pine (Pinux roxburghii) but maybe not.

Contemplative weather, and a comtemplative Spotted Dove. Clouds are at play with the mountains.

Just a bit over 24 hours ago was on a mixed forest mountain trail.

The opposite of modern dystopia - no jostling, quiet, can't say cool but not boiling hot either. Plenty of - flowers & some fruting plants; arthropods (butterflies, bees, beetles, cockroaches, spiders etc) ; & birds singing, calling, foraging silently, some harassed by baby duties. & Even the call of a less seen / heard Grey-bellied Tesia.

Birding, & eating what the birds eat

A very nice bird walk in a village near Mukteshwar.

Highlights many - the special one was the song of a Grey-bellied Tesia.

End of main walk break consisted of peaches (cultivated) and the round fruit of wild Myrica esculenta, locally Kaaphal.

The Indian Cuckoo sings Kaaphal Paako..., Kaaphal Pakiyo. (& not surprisingly the local name is simply "Kaphaal Paako")

Over the past week I traveled over some side roads - day time & even later in the nights. Narrow but good road, low traffic, & very kind people.

Stopped a few times to get photos or just take a break. Almost always had friendly chats with people &. almost always they just handed me large delicious Peaches. Unbidden.

In one case a man gave me the fruit from under an almost closed shutter.

Barberry flower, locally called Kilmoda (apochryphally the origins of the name for Almora town)

Flowers are edible, along with the berries as well.

Berberis spp.

9th May 26 was Endemic Bird day & also Himalayan Bird Count Day

Normally our group would have gone crazy - with birding events in 3 or 4 locations. This year subdued - people on assignment & in different locations. So took the opportunity to slow walk through a village forest

A Blue whistling thrush (Myophonus caeruleus), from my bird photo archives (March 2019)

A Very beautiful, happy bird in the Himalayas, It's melodic and regular morning songs are a joy in themselves.

Location : Front yard of my home in the Himalayas circa 2200 metres about sea level.

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.

A Brown Wood owl (Strix leptogrammica) seen in tall trees near Kosi Katarmal, Uttarakhand India.

Bird was in a dark shaded spot in the mid canopy of tall trees. I was quite some distance but it was fully aware of my presence and tracking as i tried to get closer walking through dense undergrowth. One blink and look away this #SuperbOwl vanished.

It snowed recently in the Himalayas - late & less. A short term sense of relief is palpable, influencer videos will cover up the severe dangers as this article reminds us yet again of how bad the situation is. Across popular media we are seeing a lot of climate change writing. Will policy & political will match the urgent attention required ?

For the past month or so, others & I had been birding & naturing (nature watching) every day, & we had been seeing Steppe Eagles (Aquila nepalensis) often (not a rarity in this part of the mountains at this time of the year).

Sharing this moment here, as my first post, reminds me of the thrill of that special moment & in a way also hopefully a thrill start to being here on Mastodon (& the fediverse)

🥶🔍 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 rise in temperature and increase in precipitation is projected in future in Kaligandaki River basin.
• The water availability in the basin is not likely to decrease during this century.
• The change in water balance in the upper sub-basins of Kaligandaki River is higher.
• The output from this research could be beneficial for water resources management..."

As we #Celebrate our 76th #IndependenceDay today here is the symbol of our #Democracy the #Buddhist Dharam Chakra (Wheel of Law) which is the centre of the #IndianFlag

It has 24 spokes representing the 24 Rishis of #Himalayas. It also represents Time (24 hours of the day) to signify that #India is constantly changing & marching ahead.

This 2nd century #Budhism Dharam Chakra comes from Amaravati in #AndharaPradesh & was on a Christies sale.
