The Sikkim flood of October 2023: Drivers, causes, and impacts of a multihazard cascade
On 3 October 2023, a multihazard cascade in the Sikkim Himalaya, India, was triggered by 14.7 million cubic meters of frozen lateral moraine collapsing into South Lhonak Lake. The impact generated an ...

This was a mind-bogglingly big flood, highlighting how deadly glacier/permafrost melting can become.

In our paper (doi.org/10.1126/scie...) we determine the landslide to be about 14.7 million cubic meters in volume, which is pretty big. But what’s more impressive is what happened after the landside entered the glacial lake

New paper led by Alex Dunant on innovative strategies for multihazard modelling!
The approach uses a computationally efficient network-based model to simulate cascading interactions between hazards (e.g. earthquake-landslide) and the resulting impacts.
