"Early on Aug. 10, 2025, a landslide originating high on a slope above the toe of the South Sawyer, near the head of the fjord, sent water surging more than a quarter mile (more than half a kilometer) up the mountain wall opposite the slide and out Tracy Arm." apnews.com/article/alas...

An Iron Age burial mound in Norway has been reinterpreted as being a memorial for a catastrophic 6th century quick clay landslide during a period of climatic instability. eos.org/thelandslide...

Exciting to see lake tsunami research in the spotlight! I joined CBC to talk about our work at Chehalis Lake and how we can go about better understanding lake tsunami hazard here in BC. #Geohazards #LakeTsunami #ScienceCommunication

Not exactly the Drum Sands of Arrakis, but singing sands are a real phenomenon, and have been successfully reproduced in the lab. 🧪⚒️ Link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Sawyer Island located in the middle of Tracy Arm, 7 km downstream the landslide, shown here before and after the estimated 30-m high tsunami! 🌊😱 The isolated tree was particularly resilient! 🌲💪 Via @nikzimmer87.bsky.social

It’s been said many times, but we must continue to repeat it: You may not believe in Climate Change, but your insurance company does.

On 24 June 2025, a significant landslide destroyed the Houzihé Grand Bridge on the Xiarong Expressway in Guizhou, China. A truck driver had an extremely lucky escape when his vehicle was left dangling into the void. eos.org/thelandslide...

The tragic landslide in Blatten gives me the excuse to tell you the story of how we found out Ice Ages existed. It's a cool story and the most important bit is rather similar to what's happening now.

📰 Geotech-related news this week out of Quebec⚠️. "A landslide swept away a home and forced the evacuation of nearby residents after it created a 300-metre crater in the middle of a rural road in central Quebec." #geotech #geohazard #geoeng #geosky

A landslide in quick (sensitive) clay in central Québec this week as been featured in the news. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Lidar and previous landslide inventory support the statement in the news report that landslides have occurred in the area before.

Our new study out in G-cubed, wrapping up 8 years of repeat seafloor mapping, flow monitoring, and sediment coring in a glacierized fjord. We made some interesting discoveries about how glaciers, turbidity currents, and submarine landslides interact in these dynamic environments tinyurl.com/49xms8hr

We're thrilled to share that CGJ, a @cdnsciencepub.com journal, will be joining the BlueSky community soon! Stay tuned for updates as we prepare to connect, share, and engage with researchers and science enthusiasts in this exciting space. See you soon! 🌟 #ScienceCommunication #BlueSky

Great article by Gordon Hoekstra on the landslide risk facing small communities in BC, exacerbated by climate change.. vancouversun.com/feature/dead...

The remarkable and fascinating 17 December 2024 Takhini River landslide and river ice tsunami, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada:- eos.org/thelandslide...

The underlying causes of the high levels of landslide risk in La Paz, Bolivia are complex and deep rooted, but fascinating:- Well-meaning government policies to address a housing deficit incentivise people to remain living in dangerous locations. eos.org/thelandslide...

Smallish landslide onto/into Takhini River in Yukon triggers an unusual "tsunami", reminiscent of the much more dramatic and potentially disastrous Sunnydale Slide near Dawson City that one of my former graduate students worked on 🧪⚒️ @davepetley.bsky.social www.yukon-news.com/news/tsunami...

I have now posted my provisional analysis of fatal landslides in 2024 on my blog. In total, 708 fatal landslides (excluding those triggered by an earthquake), cost 4,492 lives. This is far higher than in any previous year for which I have data. eos.org/thelandslide.... Published under a CC license.

☢️ Very, VERY exciting news from Canada. A hard rock site has been selected for their Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) 👀 We’re a few years behind the Canadians, but there’s lot of exciting #geoscience to be done over the next few years as the UK searches for its GDF site 👍🏾

The Naples #tsunami struck the Tyrrhenian Sea on Nov 25, 1343. Triggered by an #earthquake - or a potential #landslide at Stromboli volcano - it caused significant damage and loss of lives in Naples. The tsunami destroyed ships in Naples and the coast and city of Amalfi. 🧪⚒️ eos.org/articles/anc...

The Guardian has a great article about the acceleration in thaw-slide activity on Qikiqtaruk in the high latitudes of Canada,and their impact on the ecology and on communities. These landslides are very visible on Google Earth, as the image below shows. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is important. Years ago, while I was advising the City of Sydney Australia on various things, there was an INFAMOUS day where a particularly bad state-level minister of roads was stuck in traffic and saw bike riders zooming by his limousine in a well-used, safe, protected bike-lane. Well… 1/

#paperalert Are you applying the superelevation method to obtain #debrisflow velocity estimates? Then don't miss: Åberg et al. (2024) used new field data to validate the method. #engineeringgeology #lidar @wslresearch.bsky.social @usyseth.bsky.social

This is superb

Swiss village of Brienz facing second landslide-related evacuation in two years 🧪⚒️ www.dw.com/en/amid-land...

A new evacuation has been ordered of Brienz/Brinzauls in Switzerland, driven by renewed rapid movement of the slope that failed in 2023. More information on the Landslide Blog:- eos.org/thelandslide...
