Urban areas are increasingly exposed to mudflow hazards as unplanned urban expansion intersects with steep drainage basins and extreme rainfall events intensify under climate change. Physics-based models offer powerful tools for hazard assessment, yet their performance in densely built environments remains insufficient...

Exposure to flood hazards in high mountain catchments is expected to increase alongside natural hazards, driven by climate change, glacier retreat, and landscape evolution, yet temporally consistent, high-resolution exposure data remain scarce. Here we quantify changes in the exposure of buildings and people to floodin...

Abstract. On the afternoon of 16 August 2024, a catastrophic flood devastated Thame Village in the Everest region of Nepal. This event resulted from a cascading glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF), where the outburst of an upstream glacial lake triggered the failure of a downstream lake in the headwaters: a complex haza...
