325th IAEG Connector

Posted

The latest issue of the IAEG Connector newsletter ia available online.

Your editor has been in Switzerland this past week leading a group around the Alps from Stanford University. Two days ago a huge landslide happened in the Saas Fee Valley next to the Zermatt Valley where I was staying. Over 2000 people had to be evacuated because of the landslide. If it had been my valley, I might not have been able to put out the newsletter this week!

We have news updates on the Brazil 60th anniversary celebration, a great update on the geological post-disaster assessment of the 2024 Noto Earthquake in Japan, and an update on the Argentina 2025 conference. News items are about the large typhoon that hit Viet Nam causing major flooding and landslides, the Sass Fee landslide in Switzerland that nearly trapped me, and Saudi Arabia opening over 150 caves up to tourism.
