⛺️ 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.

#Himalayas face severe #glacialflood risks in years ahead, UN official warns | Reuters

“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.

A Japanese family of five are believed to be among the more than 2,400 people still missing Saturday after flash floods and landslides hit the Nepal-Tibet border earlier this week, according to media reports. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/08/29/japan/japanese-nepal-flash-floods/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #floods #nepal #china #tibet #himalayas

The number of people missing in Nepal and China has surpassed 2,400, underscoring the scale of disaster, days after a tsunamilike wall of water and debris swept away villages and killed hundreds. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/08/29/asia-pacific/nepal-china-floods-toll/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #floods #nepal #china #tibet #himalayas

🔍 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! ⛰️💦

#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.

“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..."
