A massive rock and ice avalanche caused the 2021 disaster at Chamoli, Indian Himalaya Open
A deadly cascade A catastrophic landslide in Uttarakhand state in India on February 2021 damaged two hydropower plants, and more than 200 people were killed or are missing. Shugar et al. describe the cascade of events that led to this disa…
View article: Sectorwise Assessment of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood Danger in the Indian Himalayan Region
Sectorwise Assessment of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood Danger in the Indian Himalayan Region Open
Climate change and associated glacier recession have led to the formation of new glacial lakes and the expansion of existing ones across the Himalayas. Many pose a potential glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) threat to downstream communiti…
