Falling ice and rock first crashed into a river, creating a debris dam. This blockage formed a new lake that burst days later, sending a second wave of water through the valley. Researchers link the increasing frequency of these debris avalanches to human-caused climate change, warning that similar events may occur in other vulnerable regions.Why it mattersThe disaster left 389 people dead and hundreds missing. Rescue operations continue for approximately 100 people https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/scientists-find-clues-in-satellite-imagery-to-the-cause-of-catastrophic-floods-in-nepal-and-tibethttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/scientists-find-clues-in-satellite-imagery-to-the-cause-of-catastrophic-floods-in-nepal-and-tibet#u51289Sat, 29 Aug 2026 04:31:28 +0000Nepal is bracing for more destruction after a dam burst on the Tibetan side, triggering a devastating flood that has left 389 dead and hundreds missing. Rescuers are working to rescue around 100 people trapped inside a tunnel at a hydropower project. A lake poses a new flood threat, and officials fear a second flood may follow.Why it mattersThe floods occurred as the Himalaya glaciers become increasingly unstable due to global warming. A glacier collapse triggered a landslide and catastrophic flooding across the Nepal-China border.

Satellite imagery reveals the river has widened and turned brown and black due to debris. These events occur as the Himalaya glaciers become increasingly unstable due to global warming. While the immediate disaster has passed, officials fear a second flood may follow. Survivors describe a scene of total loss, while researchers use the imagery to pinpoint the exact cause of the mud flows.Why it mattersThe Himalaya region is seeing increased glacial in
