Access to beach is restricted after cliff fall #Cornwall #Kernow 🔗: https://www.bbc.com/news/arti...

Warnings to avoid these unstable cliffs in Dorset. This particular section is part of the much larger landslide complex, Black Ven, one of the UK's largest active landslides that stretches between popular tourist destinations Charmouth and Lyme Regis - take great care. ⚒️

⚒️

There is a lot to think about when you visit the coast: the weather, tide times, parking, bags, sun cream, lunch, swimmers, bucket and spade… What about choosing your spot on the beach? What about the cliffs behind you? Did you see any warning signs? resortdorset.com/features/227...

We iterate the warnings given by the lifeboat and coastguard organisations to be aware of the cliffs while enjoying the beach. Rockfalls are often reported in this area so please keep a good distance away from the cliffs - at least the same distance as the cliff height. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We reiterate Dorset Council’s advice to stay away from the cliff top edge and the base of cliffs: rock falls and landslides can and do happen at any time along this section of coast. Enjoy the view from a distance, pay attention to warning signs. www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/2527082...

NASA's UAVSAR radar has detected that parts of the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Los Angeles County are sliding toward the ocean at rates up to 10 cm per week, following heavy rainfall in 2023 and 2024. ⚒️🧪 #geology #geohazards #remotesensing

Storm Bert: Welsh steam railway closed after landslip https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2024/11/storm-bert-welsh-steam-railway-closed-after-landslip.html

#StormBert is forecast to bring heavy rain this weekend. As this can cause landslides, we'll be keeping an eye on southern and western parts of the UK. You can report a landslide to us here on BlueSky.

Do Heatwaves Increase Rock Fall Hazard? We are supporting this PhD at Leeds University. Interested? Take a look and apply! yes-dtn.ac.uk/research/do-... @britgeosurvey.bsky.social

Another rockfall at West Bay, Dorset, UK, this week. These rockfalls can happen suddenly and without warning. The coastal footpath has been diverted further inland here as these cliffs are so unstable. Beautiful coastline but best viewed from a distance. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hello! Bluesky tells me we’ve gained a few followers over the last week. Welcome! We’ve been here a while and not been particularly active yet. We tend to post about UK landslides, what we’ve been up to or generally interesting landslide things. Always happy to engage so here’s a hello to you all! 😊

A nice bit of mindful craft. BGS staff took tiles home and brought them back completed. Some of the BGS Landslides Team took part and managed to bag places like the Dorset coastline, where some of the UK’s finest examples landslides are. We are nothing if not enthusiastic about our work…

Another reminder to take note of any local warning or advice when visiting coastal cliff locations. Landslides and rockfalls can happen at any time. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
