Danger: Nepal’s glacial lakes are filling up

Sat, 08 May 2021 09:21:00 +0200newsnow-co-uk (en)

Till the 1960s, the Imja Glacier near Mt Everest had only a few melt-pools. Since then, the ice has been replaced by a lake nearly 2km long, 600m wide and up to 150m deep. The ice is receding 70m a year. As glacial lakes expand, there is a danger of them bursting due to water pressure, or because of earthquakes and avalanches falling into them.

Megathrusts exhumed

Fri, 07 May 2021 18:25:00 +0200nature-Earth-and-Environmental-Sciences (en)

A key consideration for megathrust hazard assessment is the propensity of a transition zone to slip rapidly in an earthquake along with the seismogenic zone. This is because earthquake magnitude is proportional to the slip area, and slip propagation to shallow depths can produce tsunamis that are disproportionately large for the earthquake size .
