A massive ice and rock surge devastated areas near Nepal's Rasuwa district on August 26. This disaster heavily impacted the region near the Nepal-China border, leaving over 1,400 dead and 6,000 missing by mid-September. Scientists are grappling with warning communities about disasters triggered high up in hard-to-monitor terrain. Climate change is creating complex risk landscapes where one hazard can easily trigger another catastrophic event. Similar threats are now being mapped in Kashmir's Himalayas, signaling a growing regional crisis. ποΈ
