> Nepalese geologist and seismologist Amodmani Dixit said the catastrophic mudslide that struck the China-Nepal border on August 26 was triggered by a large glacier collapse in Nepal linked closely to global climate change. Steep terrain, harsh weather and limited space are hindering rescue work, and he urged deeper Nepal-China cooperation on monitoring, prevention and emergency response.
