Landslide hazard, risk, monitoring. Sometimes icey things, sometimes GLOF, rarely finish anything on any of it.
For context, these are the supraglacial landslides detected 1984-2019 (ish) using GERALDINE in the area of Alaska where the recent EQ occurred. The new ones will be visible for a limited time given the season - less time than you'd think @davepetley.bsky.social @watershedlab.bsky.social
Planet images with heavy cloud for the possible GLOF source that impacted Nepal (28.40446N, 85.64885E from Arun Bhakta Shrestha ICIMOD) show drainage of supraglacial ponds, and, some channel change immediately downstream of the terminus. Images 6th and 9th July @planet.com

Back from the Indian Himalaya after NERC funded install trip with IIT Roorkee to capture 'Super Slugs' of sediment moving after the 2021 Chamoli disaster in the headwaters of the Ganga/Ganges. The sediment legacies of these events are rarely studied but they can have significant downstream impacts.
