The Sikkim flood of October 2023: Drivers, causes, and impacts of a multihazard cascade
On 3 October 2023, a multihazard cascade in the Sikkim Himalaya, India, was triggered by 14.7 million cubic meters of frozen lateral moraine collapsing into South Lhonak Lake. The impact generated an ...

Our new paper just released in Science last night! ⚒️🧪https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ads2659
But instead of getting into the findings right now, some thoughts about doing the science. May or may not be motivated by recent events… 1/n

Melting ice is destabilizing mountainous regions and exacerbating debris flow hazards. A new @science.org study analyzes the collapse of a moraine dam in the Himalayas and shares how mitigation strategies can be applied to high-risk areas. Read more at CTV News:

New paper today in @science.org focused on unraveling the chain of events that led to the 2023 Teesta disaster, which resulted in about 130 people either dead or missing in Sikkim, India. Short thread to follow. 🧪⚒️ doi.org/10.1126/scie...

Under the Ministry of Earth Sciences project on GLOF risk across the Indian Himalaya, an important aspect is to generate bathymetry for at least 15 proglacial lakes in the western Himalaya.
