Nepal flash floods: A wake-up call against infrastructure building spree across Himalayas, warns geo-scientist C.P. Rajendran
Nepal flash floods highlight risks of unregulated infrastructure development in the Himalayas. Geo-scientist warns excessive building on unstable slopes and reduced river efficiency increase disaster vulnerability, undermining ecological resilience.
Fresh glacial lakes form at source of Nepal’s ice-rock avalanche
New glacial lakes formed at the source of a Nepal ice-rock avalanche. Monitoring limitations may hinder early warning systems for similar disasters. Water volume data remains unavailable, posing ongoing hazard assessment challenges.

Nepal disaster reinforces the need for regional preparedness
A massive ice and rock collapse in the Nepal-Tibet border region on August 26 triggered an earthquake and nine-metre flood, killing hundreds and destroying critical infrastructure including dams, hydropower stations, and bridges. The disaster highlights urgent regional preparedness needs amid climate-related hazards.

Glacier break or earthquake? What triggered the Nepal floods? | Explained
Nepal experienced severe floods triggered by a glacier and rock collapse in the Himalayas near Langtang Lirung, rather than rainfall alone. The incident highlights climate-driven natural hazards in high-altitude regions.

Danger from above: On the Nepal flood
Natural disasters including floods in Nepal's hilly terrain are increasing amid climate change. The article examines the growing dangers from natural outbursts exacerbated by changing climate patterns.
