Pathing landslides gets a full feature on Prof Dave Petley's Landslide Blog

Prof Dave Petley's Landslide Blog is perhaps the most widely read 'online magazine' on Landslide Hazards in the world.
So it is wonderful that our reports on the Pathing Landslides as well as our two videos have been featured in a full length post on his blog yesterday.

Meanwhile as I write the rockfalls and the landslide at Pathing continue relentlessly; the good thing is that the villagers and their livestock have shifted out of harms way even though their homes are still being pulverized by rocks.
I hope our efforts in highlighting their plight (and the plight of so many other rural communities which are affected by this very under-rated disaster form) will help them in some way.

While Prof Dave Petley, was recently appointed the Vice Chancellor of the Univ of Hull, it has been our proud privilege of having known Dave for many years and also regularly following his world famous blog on landslides.
I am extremely glad to mention here that our video (https://youtu.be/OQZpNDNktiU ) made on the landslide and landslide victims of Tanyang village in Kalimpong was featured in Dave's landslide blog recently.
