WorldExpert: Climate-driven glacier collapse triggered Nepal mudslide
Nepalese geologist and seismologist Amodmani Dixit said the catastrophic mudslide on the China-Nepal border on August 26 was triggered by a large glacier collapse in Nepal linked closely to global climate change. Steep terrain, high altitude and harsh weather have hindered rescue work. He called for stronger Nepal-China cooperation on glacier protection, hazard monitoring, early warning and emergency response.
