The lecture consists of a genral introduction to why I blog, a long and detailed case study of the Attabad landslide, and some reflections on the pros and cons of blogging, and potential problems and impacts.
Dave Petley is the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hull in the United Kingdom. His blog provides commentary and analysis of landslide events occurring worldwide, including the landslides themselves, latest research, and conferences and meetings.
You might have included Earthquake-report.com as a specialized earthquake blog :).
