ICIMOD study confirms Thame Flood as Everest region's cryosphere-linked disaster

A new study by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) has revealed that the 2024 Thame flood in the Everest region was triggered by a chain reaction of geological and glacial factors, highlighting the area as a hotspot for glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).
