Again, all data is online here ( https://t.co/F5Ye7wbRk6). 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.

Very sad to see the damage from the earthquake in Myanmar. My thoughts are with all affected by this disaster. Understanding where and how much the fault slipped can help with damage assessments, so we've made some preliminary estimates from S2 (data: https://t.co/F5Ye7wbRk6)

New perspective article discussing how we define natural hazards in today's world. Key message: a barrier between 'human' and 'natural' events is often unhelpful, and we must consider the interaction between multiple hazards in all cases. https://t.co/vHkHzPDoks

@raishashikant6 @sgascoin @glof_Sonam @Max_VWDV @davepetley @GlacierResearch @dgupta_moushumi @MohdFarooqAzam5 @icicle_diaries @irfansalroo Our recent paper in SCIENCE shows the GLOF process chain of the 3rd October 2023 South Lhonak GLOF event in Sikkim https://t.co/pr55VeMauh #southlhonak #sikkimfloods #GLOF

@GlacierHazards Enjoyed working with many great people on this paper including @GlacierHazards @Kristen_Cook_ @raishashikant6 @EtienneBerthie2 @GlacierResearch @savethehills @sgascoin @irfansalroo @davepetley @CScottWatson @imshahiddbhat & many more!

Expertly led by @GlacierHazards, and with a wide team of authors from around the world, this work has pulled together an exceptional range of data to build an understanding of how and why this multihazard cascade occurred – and some clues as to how we might reduce future risk.

This GLOF was initiated by the failure of a lateral moraine into a part of the lake that didn’t even exist 10 years ago. The resulting flood swept downstream – all the way across the border to Bangladesh – causing widespread destruction and leaving over 100 dead and missing.

Our paper on the 2023 S. Lhonak GLOF & multihazard cascade, out today in Science! This ‘natural’ hazard had the fingerprints of human activity all over it: climate change, glacier retreat, permafrost degradation, and hydropower dam failure. Read here: https://t.co/5GUdgQ7RN5

Shout-out to project @SajagNepal, and to @EURAC where Alex is currently working.

New paper led by Alex Dunant on innovative strategies for multihazard modelling! The approach uses a computationally efficient network-based model to simulate cascading interactions between hazards (e.g. earthquake-landslide) and the resulting impacts. https://t.co/Pak6JPNb18

For those of you in the UK, you might notice one point here: 10-year old Leah Harrison was killed by a mudslide during a school trip. A real tragedy, and one that highlights the complexity of preventing landslide disasters in all environments. https://t.co/9dG3JkI7X2

There are clear clusters of fatal landslides in high-mountain Asia, S and SE Asia, central Africa and central America - but fatal landslides remain a near-global challenge. https://t.co/HktSw4vEf5

A sad reality: more people died from landslides in 2024 than any other year on record. High temperatures, rainfall intensities, and infrastructure development are all likely contributors. Despite progress in monitoring & mitigation, much work is needed to reduce landslide risk.

Great report exploring perceptions of AI in healthcare based on public workshops in Cambridge and Uganda. Many of the lessons, e.g. around the need for building trust, equity, and governance, are very relevant for how we use these same technologies in hazard and risk research.

Earthquake shaking intensity map? No! This figure is showing the coverage of landslide inventories in Nepal since 2015, with clear biases and limited data in many high-risk areas of the country. Read our new paper led by @ErinLHarvey mapping this out: https://t.co/dsU7268TUo

Glad to see the concept of "multihazard" being seamlessly accepted by the general public
