The relationship between Nepal and the international development industry has long been difficult. But the work of Nepalese youth groups gives grounds for hope.
Research suggests that many international health-oriented responses are poorly targeted. So what kind of health response would best target the needs of the Nepalese?
The earthquake in Kathmandu – a popular tourist destination – killed both locals and visitors. Here’s what travelers can do to pack for geohazards.
Nepal may have had a well-known history of earthquakes but predicting when and where a major seismic event will strike is an ongoing challenge.
Clean water, sanitation, disease control, infrastructure and investment are all needed to get Nepal back on its feet.
The earthquake that struck Nepal on Saturday was caused by the same forces that built the Himalayas, and science is helping predict where the next quake might strike.
The recovery effort is now underway after a powerful earthquake hit Nepal. The challenge will be to rebuild a stronger nation.
Seismic activity and poor buildings have come together again with fatal consequences.
Natural disasters are becoming more frequent, with more people with less money exposed to a greater number of hazards.
Ten years on from the devastating Boxing Day earthquake and tsunami, our understanding of very large earthquakes has grown enormously. From satellites monitoring changes on the Earth’s surface to drilling…
It has been five years since an earthquake hit the Italian city of L’Aquila leaving 309 people dead. In the aftermath one public official and six earthquake scientists were charged with multiple counts…
Studies of mineral veins from New Zealand’s Southern Alps have found that rainwater can penetrate many kilometres below the…
Brisbane should prepare for harmful earthquakes, according to German experts. Dr Bijan Khazai and Dr James Daniell of Germany’s…
Earthquakes could act as an early warning system for volcanic eruptions, according to new research. Researchers have found…
Earthquake lights are among nature’s most strange, most ephemeral, and hard-to-explain phenomena. While rare, and only recently accepted by science, they have been reported for hundreds or even thousands…
A global map of subduction zones has been developed, which will allow researchers to more accurately pinpoint areas capable…
A magnitude 7.7 earthquake hit south-central Pakistan on Tuesday this week. Reports of hundreds of casualties highlight the awful scale of the tragedy, made more difficult for rescuers by the remote location…
A little more than 90 years ago, British geologist Herbert Hall Turner noticed some earthquake data that suggested a surprising explanation. The only way to explain it was if the quake had occurred hundreds…
Injecting fluids into the Earth, whether to recover natural gas or to obtain thermal energy from the planet, can cause earthquakes. New reports that look at American fracking, deep waste-water injection…
