ScienceAfter Nepal’s catastrophic flood, scientists watch for what comes next

The flood that devastated parts of Nepal may have receded, but scientists are monitoring the affected area for additional hazards. Cambridge natural-hazards professor Maximillian Van Wyk de Vries says weakened terrain and several metres of mud and rock left in the valley could create risks during monsoon rains. He also discusses applying the disaster’s lessons across the Himalayas.
