Large wood contributes to geomorphological dynamics, increases habitat complexity, and enhances ecosystem resilience, yet it has been largely overlooked in e-flood planning... until now!

This video, filmed by a local resident, appears to show the initial flood surge hitting Ruidoso, NM.
The major glacier collapse or rock-ice avalanche that was feared over the past few day occurred this afternoon in Lötschental, Switzerland. Our thoughts are with the local population and emergency responders as the we gain clarity on the dimensions of this event. #Lötschental #hazards #risk
Video of the collapse occurring in the link - thanks, Melanie!
We're in an era where disasters are experienced live & direct ! 😮⌚️🚁
Look at this close-up drone footage of the avalanche plume itself! 🌊
Crazy world... 🤪

SPEECHLESS BEFORE / AFTER #BLATTEN
The magnitude of destruction after the 3:24 pm collapse of Birch Glacier is immense! 😱
All the forest has been razed and the ice/wood/debris dammed the Lonza river 🌊
Some buildings of Blatten are buried 🏠
📷 Pomona
Helicopter view published by Pomona Media (🔗 below) shows the lake building up by the end of the day. 5 m3/s is a lot of water.

The river level has already started to rise behind the dam in Blatten! 🌊
A lake is underway... 😨
To 'mitigate' flooding hazard in the valley, the Ferden dam lake, located 6 km downstream has been emptied.

Seeing Blatten buried again and again, from every angle...
Properly staggering! 😮😱
I’ll be on @bbc5live.bsky.social at about 10:45pm UK time tonight discussing the Birch Glacier collapse and the impacts on Blatten, Swiss Alps.
Looks to be a dangerous secondary hazard developing with the blockage of the Lonza River.

NOT VERIFIED, an approximate polygon drawn from media images shows the extent of the Birch glacier collapse above Blatten.
The location of the Lonza River gauge station in Blatten (now out of order)
last 40 days of the Lonza River discharge at Blatten, light blue, about 5m3/s on average
Average flow of the Lonza River at Blatten over the last 30 years. It shows a significant increase from May (average 5.7 m3/s) to June (average 11 m3/s)
Maybe >~100 🏠 buried by the glacier+rockfall collapse in Blatten (polygon quickly drawn from 📷 pomona.ch). Upstream part of village spared. But the Lonza River is now dammed. Over the last month it flew at ~5m3/s, expected to increase 2-3x in June. At 10 m3/s, it's 1M m3 every 28 hours.
A nice take (in english) about (Swiss) mountain collapse! 🏔️🧊📈

Here we go again...! 🌊
After last summer crazy destructive floods in Ecrins massif, last night has seen an other catastrophic event! 😱
Here is La Bérarde, famous location in the center of the massif half covered by debris flows from Etançons Valley

Not only one fantastic session, but two co-convened at #EGU24, session GM4.2 on cascading hydrogeomorphic processes and hazards has been well attended and gave us extremely interesting contributions!
Fantastic session on fluvial geomorphology (GM11.2) #EGU24 with a fantastic group of colleagues and friends!
How to collaborate with local knowledge-holders?
Upcoming #WARR by Kendra Kaiser + Gene-Hua Crystal Ng on two-way information exchange with stakeholders + tribes on water + wild rice, & gaining insights via respect, trust, + support.
