Very happy to be working with my friends and colleagues in #Nepal again.
Our oldest memories go back nearly 20 years, when we deployed #wifi in the #himalaya - two old pictures included.

#mastodon presence in #Nepal still small (i guess) (pls shout if you are in Nepal!)

and anyway this post would be invisible to them, as my university has a #geoblock against all of Nepal ... duh :(

Gigantischer Eisblock blockiert den Mount Everest - Hunderte Bergsteiger sitzen fest.

Am Mount Everest spitzt sich die Situation kurz vor Beginn der wichtigsten Klettersaison dramatisch zu. Ein gewaltiger Eisblock im Bereich des Khumbu-Eisfalls blockiert aktuell den zentralen Aufstiegsweg und bringt zahlreiche Expeditionen zum Stillstand.

#Himalaya

Scientists highlighted that the Himalayan region is warming significantly faster than the global average. This rapid warming is affecting glaciers, snowfall patterns and hydrological cycles. As concrete structures replace traditional settlements, the “heat island effect” is compounding the crisis, along with the shrinking of dense forest cover due to deforestation and frequent wildfires

Vegetation in six Himalayan regions shifted upwards due to warming, reduced snow depth

Changes in precipitation major reason for browning trends

Weltweit verschärft sich die #Trinkwasserknappheit durch #Klimawandel und schwindende #Gletscher.

In #Chile und im #Himalaya erproben Forschende künstliche Eispyramiden als #Wasserspeicher. Feine Sprühdüsen lassen #Schmelzwasser gefrieren, sodass kompakte Kegel entstehen, die langsamer tauen und im Sommer gezielt Wasser abgeben. Das Konzept kann Dürreregionen entlasten, stößt jedoch an Grenzen, wenn Temperaturen weiter steigen.
