I wrote a piece with one of my colleagues for @theconversation.com What we know about the event? What do we learn from past? and what’s the future of rock-ice avalanches across the Himalaya? theconversation.com/the-collapse...
theconversation.com
The collapse of a mountainside triggered Nepal’s devastating floods. As the region’s mountains heat up, it won’t be the last
Rock-ice avalanches like the one which caused catastrophe in Nepal and Tibet (China) are not new. But warmer conditions make them more likely.

An article was published in The Hindu- a leading daily newspaper, under the Science section, based on my latest published research paper. The article was written by Hirra Azmat. We are continuously working to gain more understanding of how these glaciers in Ladakh are evolving with climate change.
