On Oct 4 a China University of Geosciences (Beijing)-led team, with the Nepal
Academy of Sciences, will depart Chengdu for a roughly 20-day cross-border
emergency scientific survey in Nepal to assess cryosphere and lithosphere
impacts from the Aug.26 Himalayan extreme geological disaster across the
overseas source area, affected domestic bodies and downstream foreign basin, and
to deliver Chinese scientific proposals for cross-border joint prevention and
control.
