The rockslide at Batseri in India
The Landslide Blog
From July 28: As written by Dave Petley, "I have decided it is worth writing about the rockslide at Batseri in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Prrdesh in northern India, the videos of which circulated recently.
There are several videos of this event, taken from different perspectives. I think it is worth starting with this one as it shows, right at the start, the source of the rockslide."

The Landslide Blog
From July 28: Peat landslides are particularly interesting as they tend to have a long run out and they are extremely environmentally destructive, both in the source area (where the peat can take decades or more to regenerate) and downstream, where the peat can be a terrible pollutant. And of course peat is a key (and often degrading) carbon store; losing more is bad.
