⚠️✍️A MAJOR NEW FINDING FROM THE NEPAL–TIBET DISASTER! 🛰️Satellite radar observations show that the mountain system was already moving just 7 days before the catastrophic collapse. A preliminary analysis by Manoochehr Shirzaei and his team of Sentinel-1 radar data from the source area of the August 26 disaster detected measurable downslope deformation within the glacier/ice–rock system. Movement reached approximately 10 mm/month in some areas. Even more remarkable: 📡 Last radar observation: August 19, 2026 💥 Catastrophic collapse: August 26, 2026 That means satellite observations captured measurable deformation only 7 days before the disaster. The colored points on the map represent surface deformation/motion detected from Sentinel-1 radar data. This is not a conventional satellite image, but a radar-based InSAR deformation analysis. ⚠️ However, this does NOT mean that the collapse was “predicted 7 days in advance.” 10 mm/month is not a “collapse threshold.” What matters is whether deformation is accelerating over time, and how it correlates with rainfall, temperature, ice melt, fractures and other monitoring data. But this raises a very important question: If satellite radar can detect millimeter-scale deformation in high-mountain glacier–rock systems, could we continuously monitor the world’s most dangerous mountain regions and identify developing instability before catastrophic collapse? 📡 Satellite radar 🛰️ GNSS 🌧️ Rainfall 🌡️ Temperature 🧊 Glacier and lake levels 📈 Acceleration of deformation Could these datasets be combined to develop early-warning systems and, when necessary, evacuation alerts in the future? Perhaps the next generation of early-warning systems for high-mountain hazards will begin not on the ground, but in space. ℹ️What does the map show? The colored points represent surface deformation measured from Sentinel-1 radar data. The colors indicate the direction and magnitude of movement along the radar line of sight; red–orange tones highlight areas with stronger motion signals, while blue indicates motion in the opposite direction. Combined with the terrain geometry, the researchers interpret these measurements as downslope deformation. #Himalayas #Nepal #Tibet #FlashFlood #Earthquake #NaturalDisaster #flood #自然災害 #ネパール #बाढ़ #भूकंप #尼泊尔 #西
