Study quantifies August Himalayan flood: 100M m³ moved at 165 km/h

An international study quantified the August 26 Himalayan flood event, finding over 100 million cubic meters of material moved at 165 km/h. The study provides new data on the scale and dynamics of the event, which was likely a glacial lake outburst flood or landslide dam breach. This is a scientific analysis of a past event, not an ongoing development.
