ScienceNew CAS study reveals causes and amplification of deadly Gyirong mudslide

A Chinese Academy of Sciences-led study says the August 26 disaster at Gyirong Port was not triggered by heavy rain. It began with an ice-rock avalanche on Nepal’s Langtang Lirung peak, then grew more destructive as debris entrained material and river water along a 22-km gully. Anomalous tremors hours earlier may offer clues for future warnings.
