Himalayan rivers are shifting their course faster due to climate warming

The Himalayas, often called the “Water Tower of Asia,” supply water to rivers that support nearly 2 billion people. However, new findings show that climate warming is threatening these river systems. Using satellite images and field observations from 1980 to 2020, researchers found that melting glaciers and thawing frozen ground are causing Himalayan rivers to shift course much faster than before, increasing the risk of flooding, erosion, and damage to roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.

🐬🇧🇷 Biologist Vera da Silva and researchers at #Brazil’s Mamirauá Institute study the pink #boto, a #freshwater #dolphin that swims backward and upside down.

These 2.5-meter-long #mammals use #echolocation to hunt #fish among submerged tree roots. While biologically successful for millennia, they now face threats from #hunting and #pollution.
