Guinea rescuers search for victims after deadly landfill landslide

Rescuers hunt for survivors after a landslide at a landfill in Guinea's capital killed 30 people. Heavy rains overnight prompted the collapse of a massive mound of waste that engulfed nearby tents and shacks. #News #Reuters #Newsfeed #guinea #landslide #landfill #rains Read the story here: 👉 Subscribe: Keep up with the latest news from around the world: Follow Reuters on Facebook: Follow Reuters on X:…

“… In hilly regions transitioning rapidly to low gradient alluvial plains, localized hydrometeorological triggers can instantly scale into devastating basin wide disasters. This study dissects the September 2020 cascading hazard in parts of the Arunachal Pradesh-Assam corridor to quantify the rapid coupling between upstream hillslopes and downstream floodplains.
Check out the [attached graphical abstract figure] for an integrated visual workflow of the entire disaster continuum from hillslope failure to floodplain transformation...”

“Extreme precipitation in the Eastern Himalaya is increasingly associated with coupled hillslope-floodplain hazards. This study examines the 17th-18th September 2020 rainfall event in Arunachal Pradesh initiating landslides and its downstream impacts in Assam, India, using multi-sensor satellite data and long-term rainfall records. Sentinel-2 imagery was used to map landslides and debris flows, Sentinel-1 SAR data to delineate flood extent, and IMD gridded rainfall (1996–2020) to analyse rainfall spell characteristics. The event triggered widespread slope failures, localized landslide damming, and a subsequent breach, generating sediment-laden flows that inundated ~ 100 km² of the Dhemaji floodplain. A backscatter-derived Relative Flood Volume Index (RFVI) indicates spatial variability in inundation intensity, although it does not represent absolute flood volume. Rainfall analysis suggests that antecedent wetness from preceding spells preconditioned slopes, while peak daily rainfall (> 170 mm day−1) initiated landsliding. Power-law scaling shows negligible dependence of intensity on duration (R2 ≈ 0.0004), whereas cumulative rainfall exhibits a stronger relationship with duration (R2 ≈ 0.54). These results indicate distinct roles of rainfall intensity and accumulation in controlling landslide initiation and downstream flooding, respectively, highlighting the importance of compound rainfall forcing in rapid hydrogeomorphic cascades…”

Blatten, Switzerland
A drone view shows a few remaining houses surrounded by the Lonza River nearly a year after a huge rock and ice slide triggered by the collapse of the Birch glacier destroyed much of the village of Blatten.

Via the AGU's Landslide blog, the Brienz, Switzerland landslide "is part of a much larger area of deep-seated gravitational slope deformation" and could soon slide into the town of 130 residents, which has been evacuated:

Two years ago today, in a steep valley in a tributary of #ButeInlet, #BritishColumbia, a huge #rockavalanche (#landslide) (18.6 ± 0.34 million m3) descended about 1000m to crash onto a glacier and into #ElliotLake. https://www.nationalobserver.com/2020/12/15/news/landslide-bute-inlet-wildlife-habitat-marine-traffic

Hello Mastodon, or is it Tootland? I'm so confused...I will just blunder on, confused as usual!

I'm Heidi Stenner, a #hazards geologist and Project Manager with #GeoHazards International (#GHI) a non-profit focused on working with lower-resourced global communities who are at high risk of natural hazards and climate change impacts.

I have been an #earthquake #geologist and #paleoseismologist with USGS. Migrated into #scicomm #disasterprep. I'm most interested in #EQ #landslide #volcano #compound #concurrent #cascading #disasters and how to #mitigate #adapt #plan to reduce their impacts.
