RE: 7.8 Nepal: Tibet Landslide - Island Chris - 04-28-2015
Hi all,
The landslide video at link is pretty remarkable. The aftershocks suggest that the quake did not rupture very close to Tibet at all: it would be interesting to know the location of this video vs. how may km to nearest part of rupture.

recall that very large parts of the Santa Susana Mountains slid during the 1994 Northridge earthquake and aftershocks. There were dust clouds there for that reason.
In decades past, I've looked at the big sandstone boulders on the slopes of the Santa Ynez Mountains above Santa Barbara and thought "bowling balls"

RE: 7.8 Nepal-EOS Buzz article - Island Chris - 05-01-2015
EOS Buzz just arrived by email, and it has a link to the quake: quite good:

EOS Buzz so far is much more interesting than the EOS it replaced (AGU publications).
