Manali-Leh Rail Link Faces Significant Natural Hazard Risks: Study
A new study indicates that nearly 60% of the proposed Manali-Leh rail link route is situated in areas with moderate to high natural hazard risks. The research highlights the need for extensive geotechnical and cryospheric investigations before construction can proceed.

Glacial degradation in Switzerland reached an unprecedented threshold this summer with the formation of a supraglacial lake near the Allalinhorn summit (4,027 m).
Cryospheric data since 2000 highlights the acceleration:
📉 -5% ice volume in 1 year
📉 -20% in 5 years
📉 -43% total loss since 2000

Glacier Carré (La Meije)

The iconic ice patch punctuating La Meije (3983 m) south face and its normal route (3600-3780 m) could not resist the insane 2026 summer! 😪

Our cryospheric heritage is literally being destroyed before our very eyes! 🧊🔥

In the Hindu Kush Himalayas, rock glaciers are becoming important water reservoirs in addition to glaciers, but climate warming increases their hazard potential. Baral et al.’s #newarticle reviews decades of research on these cryospheric landforms: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Figure 1. Spatial distribution of rock glacier studies across the HKH, categorized by publication period (before 2000, 2000–2010, 2011–2020, and after 2020). The background shading indicates modeled permafrost probability (Obu et al. Citation2019). Major river basins in the region are outlined, providing the major river basin context for the spatial distribution of existing studies. A map of the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region displays the spatial distribution of rock glacier studies categorized by publication periods: before 2000, 2000 to 2010, 2011 to 2020 and after 2020. The map includes major river basins such as the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra and others. The background shading indicates modeled permafrost probability. Symbols represent study periods: red for before 2000, purple for 2000 to 2010, green for 2011 to 2020 and blue for after 2020. Recent studies after 2020 are concentrated along the Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau. The HKH boundary is outlined and river basins are marked with blue lines. The map highlights a higher concentration of studies in the Western Himalaya compared to the Eastern region.

'Nepal as a country has contributed very little to global GHG emissions, but it is suffering some of climate change’s harshest consequences. Rising temps are melting glaciers, weakening permafrost – the “cryospheric glue” holding mountain slopes together'

So would you like to discuss these facts?
The Nepal collapse wasn't caused by an earthquake or heavy rain, but by the direct loss of "cryospheric glue."
Deep inside high-altitude bedrock, permanently frozen ice acts as a structural adhesive holding the mountain together.

Amendment 71: New Opportunity: A.16 Cryosphere
A.16 Cryosphere solicits high-impact efforts focused on sea ice, ice sheets, and glaciers. The expectation is that proposed investigations will use the wealth of data from NASA satellites and airborne campaigns to address the most urgent and impactful topics in cryospheric science, as identified in the National Academy of Sciences Decadal Survey, Thriving on Our Changing Planet: A Decadal Strategy for Earth Observation from Space (2018), https://www.nap.edu/catalog/24938. The post Amendment 71: New Opportunity: A.16 Cryosphere appeared first on NASA Science.
