In the days since the floods, scientists have examined satellite imagery, drone footage and seismic data in order to understand and explain the forces behind the event. While initial theories pinned the flood on a glacial collapse, scientists now understand the event as a “multi-hazard cascade”, which began with a bedrock collapse.

This summer was more than uncomfortably hot — it was record-breaking, with many countries reporting their highest average temperatures yet.
