Earthquake-induced hazards in mountain regions: a review of case histories from Central Asia -- an inaugural lecture to the society [PDF]
This paper presents a summary of the main trigger factors of earthquake-induced landslides as well as a review of case histories of major landslide-triggering earthquake events in Central Asia. The Kainama earth-flow case history of 2005 is added to document possible mid-term effects of smaller earthquakes.

Growth of mountain belts in central Asia triggers a new collision zone in central India
Several unusual strong earthquakes occurred in central India along the Narmada-Son Lineament (NSL) zone, far from active plate boundaries. To understand the role of collisional processes in the origin of this seismicity, we develop a numerical ...

Assessing and Predicting Air Pollution in Asia: A Regional and Temporal Study (2018-2023) [PDF]
This study analyzes and predicts air pollution in Asia, focusing on PM 2.5 levels from 2018 to 2023 across five regions: Central, East, South, Southeast, and West Asia. South Asia emerged as the most polluted region, with Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan consistently having the highest PM 2.5 levels and death rates, especially in Nepal, Pakistan, and ...

The Dark Star of Baisun-tau: a history of cave exploration in Southern Uzbekistan, 1990–2013 [PDF]
Very little is known about the karst and caves in southern Uzbekistan, where some of the deepest caves in Asia have been discovered. In particular, the limestone plateau of the Baisun-tau mountain range has a tremendous potential for exploration.
