“HIGHLIGHTS
• The rise in temperature and increase in precipitation is projected in future in Kaligandaki River basin.
• The water availability in the basin is not likely to decrease during this century.
• The change in water balance in the upper sub-basins of Kaligandaki River is higher.
• The output from this research could be beneficial for water resources management..."

Rising Temperatures Speeding Up Himalayan Glacier Loss

The report from the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development in Kathmandu finds that #glaciers in the #HinduKush and #Himalaya mountain range region melted 65% faster from 2010 through 2019 than in the previous decade.
The finding adds to a growing body of evidence that the consequences of #ClimateChange are speeding up, and that some changes will be irreversible.

Rising Temperatures Speeding Up Himalayan Glacier Loss

Glaciers in the region melted faster between 2010 and 2019 than in the previous decade. “Things are just happening so fast,” one researcher said.

I love wikipedia pages with embedded in-jokes. I found a mountain page where only failed ascents are listed, and only amusing failures are detailed. No mention of successful ascents, not even the first. And it's only funny if you know why. (No link because some humourless pedant might edit it.)

Magnitude 5.9 #earthquake in the #HinduKush region, #Afghanistan about 30 minutes ago (2023-01-05Z14:25).
Deep (200 km) as is typical for the region so I don't expect much damage although there may be localized shaking. Note the absence of surface waves as is typical for a deep earthquake.
