LIVE | The Himalayas are facing a growing disaster risk-from melting Himalayan glaciers, glacial lakes and GLOFs to landslides, avalanches, earthquakes and flash floods, previously seen during Kedarnath 2013, Chamoli 2021, Sikkim 2023, Dharali 2025.
But why are Himalayan glaciers melting? How do hanging glaciers, permafrost degradation, black carbon and climate change trigger cascading disasters? What role do human activities, infrastructure and construction play?
This Sciencekaari episode explores Himalayan disasters, GLOF risk, glacier retreat, early warning systems, satellite monitoring and why India, Nepal, Bhutan and China need integrated disaster management.
