Crucially, the study found no evidence of a “triggering cloudburst event” in the vicinity of the lake. The Sikkim government ...

Perched at 3,600 m elevation in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal, massive glacial sediment deposits were incised by nearly 100 m in a geological instant during monsoonal flooding in 2021.

Rivers and streams transport and deposit fine sediments to form beaches. Glaciers move and deposit debris, leading to the formation of moraines. Each of these processes gathers and concentrates ...

As the last Ice sheet melted large quantities of clay and other sediment, called glacial till, were deposited across the whole landscape. Most of the deposited material was moulded into hundreds ...

"The next step is to acquire long sediment cores that can allow researchers to better understand the timing of glacial events," Dr. Batchelor said. The research team acknowledges that a limitation ...
