Pleased that my first paper, which reviews the impacts of flooding on transport embankment stability, has been published. You can read here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1cauv2weQlUr8

Up to 100 people were killed by a mudslide at Kusiong in the Philippines on Thursday, triggered by Severe Tropical Storm Nalgae. The local people had been drilled to prepare for a storm surge, so sheltered upslope, where they were killed by a mudslide:- blogs.agu.org/landslideblog/…
