Seismic hazard in Nepal and Austria

12.05.2015

The disastrous earthquake in Nepal on April 25, 2015 gave rise to extended debates about the tectonic situation in Nepal, the earthquake, and the consecutive rescue operations - as well as extended media coverage about it.

In the context, the Austrian press has also reported about our work to better understand seismic hazard in Austria, and in particular the use of long-term information from intact speleothems (see the  "Standard"-article "Das lange Gedächtnis der Tropfsteine" and the "Kronenzeitung"-article "Wenn die Erde Städte versetzt".

Money can be donated to the rescue actions for example through the Caritas Austria https://www.caritas.at/erdbeben-nepal/.
