The Response Gap - Deadly Himalayan Glacial Outburst Flood Foretold x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

15 km downstream, the GLOF flow is obstructed by a lateral moraine, and the GLOF enters a narrow channel. GLOF deposits are seen in the form of a fan. This flow obstruction may have reduced the overall GLOF energy. We earlier reported this in the paper sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Join our team! This December, we are hosting the HKH Women on Ice expedition. Women from Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, & Pakistan are encouraged to apply. No prior experience in science or glaciology is required. The application deadline is August 15, 2024 Share this opportunity!

In a world where gender inequality persists, particularly in science, a group of nine aspiring glaciologists from the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region have embarked on ICIMOD's first-ever all-women cryosphere expedition to Ponkar Glacier in Manang, Nepal. Women on Ice is a

Successfully completed the field expedition on Ponkar Glacier despite gusty winds. The #WOI learned debris covered glacier dynamics, lake formation processes, & melting patterns. Visited previously installed stakes on the debris & installed a new one, led by the #WOI participants
