- Aim
- Capture open seismic waveform recordings near the Trishuli corridor to verify initiation timing of the rock-ice avalanche and assess co-seismic trigger hypotheses.
- Source and interface
- IRIS / EarthScope Consortium & United States Geological Survey (USGS) — IRIS FDSN Web Services / USGS Earthquake API
- Search method
- Query IRIS FDSN dataselect for Station KKN (Kakani, Nepal; net=IC, sta=KKN, cha=BHZ,BHN,BHE) for 2026-08-26; query USGS ComCat API for all seismic events within 250 km radius of Langtang for August 2026.
- Criteria
Criterion Network IC, Station KKN, 2026-08-26 UTC Criterion USGS ComCat radius 250 km from [28.21, 85.57], M >= 1.0. - Coverage
- Continuous 3-component seismic waveform recording of the mass-movement signal and catalogued seismic events.
- Stopping rule
- Exhaust continuous waveform data for event day and all catalogued seismic events within search radius.
- Result
2 seismological resources recovered across 4 assets: continuous miniSEED 3-component waveforms + StationXML for Station KKN, and USGS ComCat regional event ledger + metadata.
