SCI & TECHAug 28China’s radar satellites capture sharp images of glacier collapse site in NepalWithin hours of a devastating glacier collapse on the China-Nepal border, a Beijing-based satellite company had already redirected six of its satellites to survey the disaster zone. The high-resolution radar images they captured revealed a massive collapse site near a remote mountain pass. Unlike optical sensors, radar signals can pierce through haze and cloud, mapping terrain changes with high precision even in the rugged Himalayan plateau. The swift commercial response also underscores a...South China Morning Post
SCI & TECHAug 27China and Nepal built an early warning system for melting glaciers in Himalayas. Does it work?Chinese scientists have developed a cross-border early warning system with counterparts in Nepal to monitor Himalayan glacial lake outburst floods. The system has issued timely alerts over the past several years, effectively preventing casualties. But on Wednesday, a high-altitude ice-rock avalanche took everyone by surprise. The debris flow hit a river in Nepal, generating a devastating flash flood that swept all the way down to Gyirong county in the Tibet autonomous region in China. Some...South China Morning Post
