A catastrophic debris flow (not, as widely reported, a flood) has struck the village of Tharali in Uttarkashi, northern India. The video is truly terrifying. Very initial reports suggest there have been four confirmed fatalities and about 50 people may be missing.

Figure B is the Digital Terrain Model and is a bare-earth representation of the topography. Figure C is the Canopy Height Model (CHM) which is the difference between the DSM and the DTM.
OpenTopography is excited to announce a major expansion to its international data catalog with the addition of the High Resolution Digital Elevation Model from Natural Resources Canada. This 1-meter resolution dataset is ideal for a wide range of applications.

🌊 Big flood, deeper danger
A huge 2021 flood in the Meuse River carved deep holes (over 15 metres) into the riverbed. A new study shows this was made worse by past changes to the river and hidden soft layers underground.
