Original: Deadly Nepal flood caused by enormous landslide, glacier tumble: Scientist

The disaster has killed and displaced people in the affected region. Researchers are studying the event as an example of mountain hazards linked to unstable slopes and melting glaciers in the Himalayas.
Why now: New scientific findings have identified the cause of a deadly flood that recently struck Nepal.
