Glacial Melting & the Flood Crisis in Pakistan  - Paradigm Shift Rapid glacial melting and unregulated construction in northern Pakistan have transformed environmental insecurity...

Rapid #GlacialMelting and unchecked construction in northern #Pakistan are turning environmental risk into a national security threat.

Weak governance worsens #GLOFs, endangering communities and the #IndusRiver system.

The Himalayan Thaw and Pakistan’s Looming Instability - Stratheia Melting glaciers threaten Pakistan’s water, energy, and stability, climate inaction now means cascading national and regional crises.

Over 3,000 glacial lakes, 33 hazardous, and zero regional plans to manage them. Time bombs are ticking in Pakistan’s north.

4/11 ❄️ Chapter 3: Frozen Rivers. The Asian Highlands are a critical part of Earth's cryosphere. This chapter details the impact of climate change, construction, and aerosol contamination on glaciers and permafrost, leading to increased meltwater and Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs). #GLOFs

Grateful to Kristen Cook for an enlightening talk on Himalayan sediment dynamics, using Bhotekoshi, South Lonak, & Thame GLOFs as case studies. Fascinating insights on how small glacial lake outbursts transport massive sediment loads in steep Himalayan corridors. #Himalayas #SedimentDynamics #GLOFs

When a Glacial Dam Burst, an Alaskan Town Was Hit With a Sudden Flood From Alaska to Peru and the Himalayas, glacial lakes are suddenly breaking free and causing deaths and millions of dollars in damages

I’m quoted in this Smithsonian Magazine article about glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).

It follows from the ice-dammed lake drainage at Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska, earlier this year but covers other places affected by GLOFs.
