  3. A Christian attitude in these precarious times

    Today, on ‘From Guestwriters’, we published a reader’s question about the Christian stance in these chaotic times.

    In any case, recent months have certainly brought us plenty of issues that could cause concern. In Ukraine, Russia’s inhumane conflict with its southern neighbour continues unabated, whilst the Russian government spares neither person nor property. So we see ‘Gog’ advancing southwards, whilst the rest of the world hears about it, watches, but does very little to prevent this advance.

    It was not only Europe that had to contend with a great many natural disasters this summer. There was the severe drought, but this was offset by violent hailstorms and torrential downpours. Many countries were ravaged by storms, landslides and mudslides. Climate change meant we had to experience its dangerous consequences first-hand. Melting glaciers made their power felt and seen with great force.

    Those who read the Bible regularly are certainly not surprised by any of these events. The Bible warns us that difficult times are to come, with an increase in natural disasters and more violence amongst people. These days, even minors do not shy away from stabbing others or shooting them dead.

    In the face of all these events, we must ask ourselves how we should observe all this and whether or not we should respond. We are convinced that we cannot stand by and watch silently from the sidelines. As followers of Christ, we must live by his teachings and, out of love for our fellow human beings, we are called upon to take active action.

    As Christians, we cannot simply stand by and watch all these events unfold. We must not only make our voices heard, but also roll up our sleeves and get stuck in.

    As children of God, we can trust that Jehovah is willing to give us gifts to help others. We must therefore make practical use of the gifts we receive from God. It is not only within our own church community that we should allow these spiritual gifts to flourish. We must open ourselves up to God’s gifts in such a way that we may grow in wisdom and spiritual strength. We must understand why God has given us these gifts. It is not so that we should do nothing with them. In the same way, we must have the courage to reach out and speak to people about our faith and our hopes for the future.

    The basis for putting these gifts into practice lies in understanding their purpose. They are a manifestation of the qualities with which God is prepared to endow people. They enable us, as believers, to overcome our own uncertainty and fear and to maintain a biblical perspective on the future. In this way, we are offered opportunities to serve God and to help further build up the body of Christ and bring it to maturity.

    We must share the gifts we receive through God’s Spirit with others, both within the church community and beyond, with love.

    In all expressions of spiritual gifts, priority must be given to love. The apostle Paul explains that even extraordinary gifts — speaking in tongues, prophecy, knowledge and faith — mean nothing without love. We must be aware that spiritual power, separated from love, becomes spiritual arrogance.

  9. from the report ^ ^ ^:

    "the flood took several hours to travel from Tibet into Nepal. If rising water levels or the lake breach had been detected earlier, alerts could have been issued ...

    Shrestha stressed that Nepal lacks adequate monitoring systems in the high Himalayas, while China has advanced facilities. A permanent mechanism for real time data exchange and emergency communication between the two countries is urgently needed. "

  10. #Rasuwa #flood: Why did #earlywarning fail despite systems in place?

    This report names two main factors:
    * tech - sensors, servers, networks
    * cross-border communications

    I think in addition to these local/regional factors, a global question:

    there are #satellite systems seeing this happen in near-realtime -
    and "AI"s analyzing.
    yet noone cares to issue a warning .... (?)

  11. Some early reports said that the horrifying #flooding in #Nepal was the result of an #earthquake. However, the signal was actually the recording of the #landslide.

    TL:DR - there was no earthquake, it was a landslide.

  14. Spatiotemporal Distribution, Climatic Factors, And Seasonal Precipitation Patterns Characterizing 66 Years Of Widespread Shallow Landslide Events In Piedmont (Northwestern Italy)

    “Widespread shallow landslide events constitute one of the primary drivers of recurrent societal and economic losses in mountain regions. Although the influence of climate variability on landslide frequency and magnitude has been widely recognized, long-term, event-level analyses linking spatiotemporal landslide patterns to precipitation climatology at the regional scale remain scarce. This study presents a statistical analysis of 128 widespread shallow landslide events recorded in Piedmont, northwestern Italy, over the 66-year period 1960–2025, cross-referenced against the regional precipitation climatology. Events were characterized by season, primary physiographic unit, provincial coverage, and an ordinal magnitude index (scale 1–7) encoding combined spatial extent and estimated landslide count. Results indicate that no statistically significant monotonic trend in event frequency was detected over the study period (mean rate: 1.97 events yr⁻1); however, a moderate positive correlation was established between event magnitude and the number of provinces affected (R2 = 0.51, p < 0.00), validating the magnitude index as a proxy for spatial footprint. Mean event magnitude reached its highest value in the 2010s (3.71), while all five events of magnitude ≥ 6 occurred in autumn. The summer fraction of the catalogue increased markedly, from 6% in the 1960s to 31% in the 2000s and 25% in the 2020s, concurrent with stable or declining summer mean precipitation totals, consistent with Clausius–Clapeyron amplification of convective intensity under documented regional warming. Cross-analysis with regional records identifies three tiers of rainfall–landslide coupling: a stationary direct seasonal coupling; a non-stationary, strengthening intensity-mediated summer coupling; and a structural susceptibility-mediated spatial decoupling whereby the driest provinces generate the highest landslide occurrence frequencies due to the lower triggering thresholds characteristic of Tertiary Piedmont Basin sedimentary environments. A post-hoc assessment of the triggering thresholds used for regional shallow landslide early warning system demonstrates superior detection performance for high-magnitude autumn events (hit rate up to 89% for the 2000–2025 sub-period) and identifies sub-daily convective accumulation windows in summer as the primary domain requiring threshold recalibration…”

  15. Widespread Landslide Activity in an Extreme Wet Season and Implications for Regional Sediment Management, Eastern San Francisco Bay Area, California

    H/T @amy East, Ph.D., P.G. | Researcher integrating geoscience and climate-change preparedness
    “[This paper (link above) is] a collaboration with [the H/T’s] colleagues from [the] USGS Landslide Hazards Program, who mapped over 8,900 landslides in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area during an extreme wet winter.
    How much sediment does such an extreme winter produce, from landslides or in stream discharge? How does that compare with long-term sediment production and landscape denudation rates?
    [They] f[o]nd that landslide sediment mobilization is comparable to long-term denudation rates, emphasizing the role of extreme events in long-term sediment production. However, one extreme wet year has a negligible effect toward counteracting ongoing problems of sediment deficit in San Francisco Bay: to keep pace with sea-level rise, extreme wet conditions would need to occur in 50 out of the next 75 years…”

    "PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Watersheds will likely produce more sediment in a warmer future with more extreme rain, primarily through landslides in steep terrain. This study examines how an extremely wet season affected sediment production and transport in the eastern San Francisco Bay area, California. By mapping and measuring 8,928 landslides, [they] found that rare, extreme rain conditions are likely responsible for the vast majority of long-term hillslope erosion rates in this region. However, due to long residence times for sediment on hillslopes and in stream channels, a maximum of 1%–2% of that newly mobilized landslide material could have potentially contributed to sediment carried by streams into the Bay that year. Even extremely wet years cannot provide enough sediment for Bay wetlands and shorelines to keep pace with rising sea levels. To meet the demand for sediment in the Bay, such extreme rain and sediment production would need to occur in most years, which is not realistic. To restore wetlands and protect shorelines, managers likely will need to supplement the coastal system with repurposed dredged material…”

    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…”

    H/T @Daniel Swain
    “Hydroclimate volatility refers to sudden, large and/or frequent transitions between very dry and very wet conditions. In this Review, we examine how hydroclimate volatility is anticipated to evolve with anthropogenic warming. Using a metric of ‘hydroclimate whiplash’ based on the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index, global-averaged subseasonal (3-month) and interannual (12-month) whiplash have increased by 31–66% and 8–31%, respectively, since the mid-twentieth century. Further increases are anticipated with ongoing warming, including subseasonal increases of 113% and interannual increases of 52% over land areas with 3 °C of warming; these changes are largest at high latitudes and from northern Africa eastward into South Asia. Extensive evidence links these increases primarily to thermodynamics, namely the rising water-vapour-holding capacity and potential evaporative demand of the atmosphere. Increases in hydroclimate volatility will amplify hazards associated with rapid swings between wet and dry states (including flash floods, wildfires, landslides and disease outbreaks), and could accelerate a water management shift towards co-management of drought and flood risks. A clearer understanding of plausible future trajectories of hydroclimate volatility requires expanded focus on the response of atmospheric circulation to regional and global forcings, as well as land–ocean–atmosphere feedbacks, using large ensemble climate model simulations, storm-resolving high-resolution models and emerging machine learning methods…
