Scientists Identify Collapsed Glacier as Cause of Nepal-Tibet Floods
Scientists have identified a collapsed glacier as the cause of the recent flash floods on the Nepal-Tibet border, which have resulted in at least 177 deaths. The US Geological Survey confirmed that the disaster was due to a glacial collapse, with significant debris entering local rivers and causing rapid water level increases. Experts attribute the event to a combination of tectonic uplift and climate change, which is accelerating glacier melting in the region.
