Excellent!

This video is fascinating. The driver of a car in #Taiwan gets warning of an #earthquake and takes appropriate action, stopping in a rockfall shelter. And what a good job they did, as rockfalls inundated the road.
Early warning systems save lives, so long as you have a plan.

Satellite analyses are now suggesting that the likely cause of the 4 October 2023 Sikkim flood disaster in India was a landslide into South Lhonak lake:- https://t.co/LUpmAJSL7c

His research was numerical, but was pinned to #reality, something that he has achieved by being in the field and observing what he is modeling. Congratulations Weibing

[Dimitrios Zekkos, PhD, PE @DZekkos]

Warmest congratulations to my PhD student @Weibing_Gong for completing his doctoral thesis & becoming a Faculty member at Missouri Science&Technology. Weibing's thesis is on "A Numerical Model for Regional-Scale Back-Calculation and #Prediction of Earthquake-induced Landslides"

[Dimitrios Zekkos, PhD, PE @DZekkos]

Along with his papers that are coming through the various journals, we have also released in Open-Access the codes that can be used for landslide modeling.

@ProfElMohtar Chadi: Thank u for including Greece in your Mediterranean tour. It was awesome to see you and meet your family in Crete for the 9th ICEG. See you on the other side of the Atlantic!

[Dimitrios Zekkos, PhD, PE @DZekkos]

Dear @elonmusk, Our twitter-based research on the impact of natural hazards on people and infrastructure is impacted by the interruption of the Streaming API service. We tried to connect with Twitter on this, but were unsuccessful. Can you help? Would be greatly appreciated.

[Dimitrios Zekkos, PhD, PE @DZekkos]

Great event with great content by @CLaSH_org

[CLaSH @CLaSH_org]

Last but not least, our final modeling expo session comes from Dr. Dimitrios Zekkos (UC Berkeley) who facilitated talks on slope stability and landslide processes.

Make sure you catch the recap from Dr. Zekkos and other speakers at the link below.
