The 24 January 2026 landslide on Gunung Burangrang in West Bandung, Indonesia is thought to have killed about 90 people. @planet.com has captured satellite imagery that shows the 3.1 km long landslide:- eos.org/thelandslide...

This is so awesome. "We made a big rigid slab on top of some weak stuff and... Oops".

On 2 February 2026, a major landslide occurred on a cut slope on the Ionian motorway between Arta and Amfilochia in Greece. This failure appears to have occurred on a slope reinforced with rockbolts. No-one was harmed. eos.org/thelandslide...

On 28 January 2026, a landslide at the Rubaya coltan mine complex in the Democratic Republic of Congo killed at least 227 people. It is likely that there were further victims, but the true cost is likely to remain undetermined. eos.org/thelandslide...

Quick clay landslides can liquefy entire hillsides with little to no warning. In far northern countries where they occur, researchers are searching for new ways to stabilize soils, digging down to the molecular level.

There are reports this evening that at least 227 people were killed in a landslide at the Rubaya coltan mine in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on Wenesday.

Couldn't help but get COSI with it.

Just an incredible and unusual landslide at Niscemi, Sicily, Italy, as captured by @planet.com SuperDove satellites 🧪⚒️🛰️

Happy 6th "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" anniversary to those who celebrate! #Geology ⚒️

quite astonishing landslide in Niscemi, Sicily

News reports this morning suggested that up to about 90 people may have been killed in a landslide in Bandung, Indonesia. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/...

1m contours and historical aerial photographs covering the site are available here if you are interested: gis.tauranga.govt.nz/vertigisstud... Suffice to say there’s evidence of excavation at the base of the slope and former landslide scarps.

The brilliant people at Planet Labs have captured an image of the 13 January 2026 landslide at Burutsi village in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This landslide killed 28 people and blocked an important road. The runout distance is about 500 metres. eos.org/thelandslide...

I thought you may have seen this Dave. Unfortunately it does look almost certain that there will be fatalities. There has been an enormous quantity of rainfall in the Bay of Plenty and other areas in the past couple of days, including 300+mm in a day in Whitianga, with numerous slips likely.

On 22 January 2026, a landslide was triggered by heavy rainfall at Mount Maunganui in New Zealand. Six people are missing. Two more people are confirmed to have been killed by a landslide at Papamoa. eos.org/thelandslide... #landslide #mountmaunganui

A new paper (Jia et al. 2026) examines the underlying causes of the 8 February 2025 Junlian rock avalanche in Sichuan Province, China, which killed 29 people. Repeated wetting and drying cycles weakened the rock mass until failure could occur under unexceptional rainfall. eos.org/thelandslide...

In Sri Lanka, about 4,800 landslides have been mapped in the aftermath of Cyclone Ditwah. www.adaderana.lk/news.php?nid...

A fascinating new study (Akhila et al. 2025) examines the mental health impacts of the 30 July 2024 Wayanad landslides in India. The authors describe long term trauma, especially for children, older people, those with disabilities and first responders. eos.org/thelandslide...

A new paper (Xie et al. 2026) in the journal landslides documents over 100,000 landslides triggered by Typhoon Doksuri in northern China in July 2023. Image by @planet.com. eos.org/thelandslide...

HiPOD: A Landslide of Mars This stunning image shows a landslide in Sirenum Fossae, just on the edge of Daedalia Planum, where multiple lava flows have occurred. What was the geometry of the failure that caused it? https://uahirise.org/hipod/ESP_076597_1540 NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona

There are concerns about the potential impact of an incipient landslide at Farwell Canyon on the Chilcotin River in British Columbia, Canada:- eos.org/thelandslide...

The 13 January 2026 landslide that occurred at Burutsi village, in the Kashebere area of Walikale Territory, DR Congo is now known to have killed 28 people and injured 20 more. The failure was triggered by heavy rainfall. eos.org/thelandslide...

There are reports that a significant landslide occurred yesterday at Burutsi village, in the Kashebere area of Walikale Territory, DR Congo. At least 13 people have been killed and 30 are reported to be missing. Kashebere is located at [-1.31207, 28.67374]. The landslide was triggered by rainfall.

Version 13 of the Preliminary Canadian Landslide Database is available. Highlights include 2,500 new entries and 449 slopes that were likely moving (2016-2024) based on interpretation of NRCan and NASA InSAR-based deformation maps. zenodo.org/records/1821...

Recovery operations continue for the 36 victims of the 8 January 2026 garbage landslide at Binaliw in the Philippines. The landslide appears to have a rotational form at the crown and to have been a flow lower down. eos.org/thelandslide...

One person has been killed and 38 more are missing after the #garbage #landslide at Binaliw in Cebu in the Philippines. Rescue operations are ongoing but the likelihood of survival is not high. cebudailynews.inquirer.net/686329/binal...

There has been a large #garbage #landslide at Binaliw in Cebu City, Philippines today. At least one person has been killed and five injured, but this may increase. The unconfirmed location appears to be [10.41609, 123.92159].

A fascinating paper (Ozturk et al. 2025) highlights the shifting pattern of landslide risk in cities using the 2025 Granizal landslide in Medellín, Colombia. They show that climate change means that the urban rich are at increasing levels of threat alongside the poor. eos.org/thelandslide...

Thanks for sharing @davepetley.bsky.social! @theronfinley.bsky.social, Panya, Jan, and I were very fortunate to be able to get to the site to survey the impacts of the earthquake. I'm very grateful for how many "once in a lifetime" opportunities we get up here!

Definitely worth a read! Cool that I know the authors! Totally bummed I couldn't get up there to fly with them, but probably no room in the helicopter.

Mystery photo for you to work out what it is? Is this a debris flow? Or maybe a rock glacier? Or perhaps a talus deposit? Or something else? Give it a guess. #Geomorphology, #landslide #newzealand #geoscience #geography #geology

Almost a year since the Bridgewater Canal embankment failure. Canal embankments are the oldest of UK infrastructure, are deteriorating & at risk from climate change. Impounding water, they have high potential failure consequences. We more action to understand their condition and improve resilience.

Once again an embankment failure is labelled as a "sinkhole". Incredibly frustrating - theBBC even says in the article that "Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said it was responding to a landslip and confirmed a canal was affected."

Before and after satellite images by @planet.com showing a very small part of the area affected by landslides in November 2025 in #Sumatra, #Indonesia, triggered by #Cyclone #Senyar. This pattern is replicated extensively across a vast swathe of Sumatra.

Consider submitting your #EGU26 abstract in the broad theme of #Landslides to our session of #NH3.6. We are among the continuous major landslide sessions during the meeting, and will continuously try to give more opportunities to #ECS researchers. 🧐 AI is good in preparing infographics by the way.

Channelised debris flows have caused terrible destruction at Malalak, Agam regency, West Sumatra province, Indonesia. A satellite image by @planet.com shows the magnitude of the destruction. eos.org/thelandslide...

Satellite images by @planet.com are revealing the scale of the destruction in Sri Lanka caused by landslides triggered by Cyclone Ditwah at the end of November 2025. This cyclone is thought to have killed over 800 people, many of them in channelised debris flows. eos.org/thelandslide...

he first Sentinel1 images are in after the Alaskan M7 earthquake beneath Hubbard Glacier - no shortage of new landslides. Below are 28/11 and a 9/12 images! @watershedlab.bsky.social @davepetley.bsky.social

Imagery by @planet.com shows some very nasty landslides in the upland areas of #SriLanka, triggered by #Cyclone #Ditwah. At least 627 people have been killed by the landslides and floods.

Already a hotspot of rock avalanches, hundreds in the Landsat era, especially Marvine Glacier, upper Turner and around.

This is the current USGS landslide potential maps from the M=7.0 #Hubbard #Glacier #earthquake, which occurred in the last few hours. It shows high landslide potential in the area of Mount Vancouver. The first set of satellite images are going to be interesting. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...
