Preparing for a trip to Nepal

NAMASTE!!

In less than 3 days, our capstone group will travel to Nepal. Before leaving for Nepal, I wanted my group to know more about the country to resist any cultural shocks they might come across.

The video below is very good in explaining things to prepare before leaving for Nepal. It's funny and informational at the same time.

To our knowledge, our work will result in the first empirical study that examines how history of conflict impacts natural disaster resilience.

 

#2

8 million individuals in Nepal have been impacted by the 2015 earthquake. 

 

#3

We have succeeded in creating a new variable, partnered with the Geological Sciences Department at Texas A&M University to better estimate earthquake intensity using magnitude and distance.
