And on Thursday I am presenting some thoughts on the need for multihazard databases, and how we might go about designing these.

"A relational disaster database to document and resolve multihazard interactions"

Please come along to these presentations to learn more and get in touch if you’d like to have a chat with me or any of the group – we’re always open to building new collaborations.

If you’re interested in applying for postdocs, fellowships, PhDs in Cambridge I am happy to talk this through as well.

Lorenzo is presenting an update on a new and much-improved software (python, open source) package for monitoring landslide movement from optical data.

Chen is presenting some promising new modelling results integrating the pore pressure response to dilatancy in MPM landslide simulations.

"Improved landslide runout prediction by integrating the pore pressure response to dilatancy"

Joshua is presenting some exciting new work on the role of trust in influencing resilience. Special shout-out as he is tuning in from Dominica in the middle of the night!

On Tuesday, we have three great presentations from PhD Joshua Nicholas, PhD Ye Chen, and postdoc Lorenzo Nava.

If you’re interested in hearing more about the South Lhonak Lake work please check out Ashim’s talk on Wednesday that Louie and I are also involved in:

"The South Lhonak GLOF Cascade of October 2023, Sikkim Himalaya "

Louie Bell (PhD) is presenting this morning on our work understanding the precursors of the South Lhonak Lake GLOF.

"Pre-Glacial Lake Outburst Flood moraine deformation at South Lhonak Lake, Sikkim, from optical satellite feature-tracking "

Also worrying news for penguins as a second stronghold of theirs, the Falkland Islands, is hit with a 41% tariff (??)

Ah no, just accidentally flipped the North arrow. The positions are correct. The figure below is correct now.

Again, all data is online here (doi.org/10.5281/zeno...). If you have any questions about the use of this or the processing chain, please do reach out.

The fault terminates quite abruptly at the northern end (very close to the Irrawaddy) but gradually to the South. The southern termination is quite a bit further than some estimates I have seen, likely somewhere just west of Penwegon.

The surface rupture passes within only a few hundred metres of the two main international airports in the region (Mandalay and Nyapyidaw), in each case with around 5 m of total slip.

The maps show horizontal displacements in metres in the EW and NS directions. The fault ruptured by several metres over a distance of almost 500km with total slip was highest close to the largest city in the region, Mandalay.

It is open access, and you can also get the pdf from preventionweb if you prefer www.preventionweb.net/publication/...

"You can't have your lake and eat it"

The 'alternative' A628 route has its own set of landslides as well... We've got a small project (with @britgeosurvey.bsky.social) looking at some of these landslide-road interactions and disruptions to transport on a national scale.

Indeed, disasters are never natural. And sometimes, the hazards themselves are not either...

Enjoyed working with many great people here including
