Parts of a #glacier were involved in the failure, likely contributing large amounts of water, though other water sources undoubtedly contributed. lnkd.in/p/eR3XUPkr https://lnkd.in/p/eR3XUPkr27 Aug 2026 08:36 +0000at://did:plc:uums57o2cli6ur6njukgf2o6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu2gxqeads2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/gaphaz.bsky.social/post/3mtykrft4c22e#GAPHAZ researchers from around the globe are rapidly looking into various data sources, including #seismic data and #satellite imagery, to try to identify the source of the #disaster. A #glacier is certainly involved, but unlikely to be the sole cause. #rasuwa https://www.newscientist.com/article/2586497-a-glacier-collapse-is-most-likely-cause-of-the-nepal-disaster/26 Aug 2026 14:39 +0000at://did:plc:uums57o2cli6ur6njukgf2o6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtykrft4c22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/gaphaz.bsky.social/post/3mtye7opnic2uWe are heartbroken 💔 to see the images and videos coming out of Nepal this morning. Initial footage suggests this was a hugely destructive event originating in glacierized terrain. Our thoughts are with all affected communities and emergency responders. #cryohazards #rasuwa #glaciers #hazards [contains quote post or other embedded content]26 Aug 2026 12:41 +0000at://did:plc:uums57o2cli6ur6njukgf2o6/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtye7opnic2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/gaphaz.bsky.social/post/3mtbsxxzzv22nWhat does GAPHAZ do?🏔️ What should GAPHAZ do?
