  6. Tibet-Nepal-Flut: Gletscherabbruch als Ursache vermutet

    Die Sturzflut im Grenzgebiet zwischen #Nepal und dem Autonomen Gebiet #Tibet, die am Mittwoch für zahlreiche Tote und Vermisste gesorgt hat, ist nach Angaben der US-Erdbebenwarte #USGS von einem Gletscherabbruch ausgelöst worden. Was zu dem Abbruch führte, ist noch offen. Fachleute vermuten aber, dass die #Erderwärmung zu den Ereignissen beigetragen hatte.

    Laut der Forschungseinrichtung International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development #ICIMOD gelangte dadurch eine „große Menge an Eis und Geröll“ in einen Zufluss des #Bhotekoshi, was wiederum eine riesige #Sturzflut auslöste. Laut ICIMOD stieg der Wasserstand in den Flüssen innerhalb von 30 Minuten um sieben bis neun Meter an.

    “[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…”
