The impact of the deadly flood in Nepal has been described as “immense” as the authorities there confirm that 538 bodies have been recovered from the disaster-stricken area.Continue Reading
A day before a wall of ice, rock and muddy water tore through Himalayan valleys along the Nepal-China border, Dipesh Chapagain was discussing with a colleague just how devastating such a disaster could be.Continue Reading
Earth scientists are in the early stages of analyzing the devastating debris flow but say it fits a pattern fueled by global warming. By Bob Berwyn, Nicholas Kusnetz Residents and rescue workers in flood-ravaged valleys of Nepal faced the threat of a new wave of inundation Friday, as scientists warnedContinue Reading
NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has resumed operating two of its three science instruments, following the scaling back of a commercial mission that would have boosted Swift to a higher orbital altitude. That mission is now focused on demonstrating rendezvous technologies for in-space servicing. The Swift team turned on theContinue Reading
