Insights from Earthquakes in Nepal

Field visit identifies light damage at Tsho (lake) Rolpa. Post-earthquake image of Tsho Rolpa appears identical to its appearance shortly before the earthquake. Two areas of fractures —believed formed by the May 12 2015 aftershock— were observed on the engineered part of the end moraine from a helicopter during an inspection undertaken by the U.S. Geological Survey at Tsho Rolpa.
