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

🔍 Ah, the riveting tale of "what if a lake bursts?" in the #Himalayas. Because, clearly, it's not like we have bigger lakes to worry about or anything. 😂 Just a regular Tuesday in academia, folks! ⛰️💦

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.

‘After Sikkim Disaster…There Should be no More Hydro Projects in Himalayas’

Noted scientist Dr CP Rajendran says India needs an online disaster information network that relies on old and current data.

‘Ticking time bombs’: Sikkim floods a reminder of why locals opposed dams in the Himalayas for years

The damage caused by the glacial lake outburst flood was compounded by the presence of a string of dams in the Teesta river basin in the Himalayan state.

What are Glacier Lake Outburst Floods? How do infrastructure projects like the Chungthang dam affect the fragile ecosystem of the Himalayas? Can such events be predicted and prevented?

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.
