As #COP30 heats up, superb visual storytelling in @nytimes.com about climate change & the threat of glacial lake outburst floods in the Himalaya, featuring the work of @cscottwatson.bsky.social and quotes from @kristencook.bsky.social @sonamshp.bsky.social and me. 🧪⚒️ www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Melting Glaciers in the Himalayas Feed Lakes That Threaten Towns Below (Gift Article)

Melting ice from the Himalayas is creating thousands of unstable lakes, a growing menace to towns and cities below.

Not just warming but also changes in precipitation may contribute to glacial melting in the Himalayas. See more at attheu.utah.edu/facultystaff... @utah.edu #GraceFO

High Mountain Asia’s shrinking glaciers linked to monsoon changes - @theU

Shifting precipitation patterns, driven by climate change, could reshape water security and environmental hazards for one of world’s most populated regions, research shows.

All of the 28 most populous US cities are sinking, finds a new study by @lamont.columbia.edu postdoc Leonard Ohenhen & colleagues published in Nature Cites. From the coasts to the interior, urban areas are sinking. Most common culprit: groundwater pumping. ➡️ news.climate.columbia.edu/2025/05/08/a...
