"The causes of landslides are not a mystery to mankind. Layers of rock and soil such that rain running along a clay or rock layer can create a slippery surface for the weight of the layers above it is a common cause. A rock jumble from previous mountain building, broken or fractured rock easily dislodged. We have stated that the earthquakes man experiences between the periodic passages of Planet X can be considered aftershocks from the last passage, and this is true of landslides also. Mountain building rumples the landscape, so the land is not flat but has steep ravines and hill sides. Older mountain ranges are recognized for their rounded or smoothed appearance, because of frequent landslides distributing the rubble.

"As we approach another passage, another Pole Shift, the pace of landslides has picked up. Why would this be? Plates under pressure will put pressure on regions that contain rumpled hillsides and deep ravines, as these give more readily than strictly flat land, thus act as a weak link. In addition, due to the wobble, the weather has gotten more extreme, with drought and deluge increasing in extremes. Dry ground, suddenly flooded with rainwater needing to seek its level as runoff, will create internal water slides between the rock and soil layers that constitute the rumpled hillsides. Is there an early warning system that mankind could use? The trembles that soil about to slide emits could be detected, yes. These are not earthquakes, and have their own frequency. "

Landslide on the pipeline, Genoa remains indefinitely without heating- ITALY

Thursday, March 20, 2014

Even an emergency in Liguria caused by a landslide. This time to be hit and 'the national gas pipeline network Snam in a locality' of the hinterland of Genoa. The Civil Defence of Genoa has issued a call in the evening to the people of Genoa and sixteen other towns not to use central heating systems and self-limiting the use of gas for cooking. A Orero, the village directly interested in the landslide, and 'tripped the security alarm. Due to the risk of explosions and 'was closed to traffic a ring, where and' forbidden ignition engines, mobile phones and flames. No danger to residents as the case may 'are close to a few tens of meters. According to the regional minister of civil protection Gianni Crivello the damage caused by the landslide and '"important" and at the moment not possible to forecast the timing re-establish the service. Technicians are working to identify the exact point of failure in a few tens of meters wide. The landslide no visible fractures in the soil and pipeline, 24-inch, and 'remained hidden under the ground, at a depth' of about 4 meters. Crivello has activated the Municipal Civil Protection Operations Center (COC) with the participation of officials of Rete Gas also Italian and firefighters. The Municipality of Genoa has ordered that citizenship does not use natural gas if not for cooking food. They must be turned off all central heating systems and autonomous as well as' hot water production facilities. The Civil Protection has set up a toll-free number and street lighting panels in order to inform the citizenry. "The timely shutdown of the plant - says the City - allow 'to return safely and with greater rapidity' service.

Living on the edge: Homes perilously close to tumbling into sea after Sussex coast is battered by seven years' worth of erosion in just three months

By Kieran Corcoran

|

This is the dramatic moment a stretch of grass-topped cliff toppled into the sea in a cloud of rubble and dust after the winter's savage storms caused seven years of erosion in just three months.

To the shock of stunned bystanders sat on a wall just metres away the chunks of cliff top broke away from the cliff face at Birling Gap, on the East Sussex Coast and plunged onto the beach below today.

A huge crack could be seen along the top of the cliff in the moments before the stones fell, while other crevices have also formed along the edge of the picturesque coastline.

Over the weekend a 100-square-foot area of the collapsed, leaving a cottage dangerously close to the sheer 30ft drop below.

Earlier this year experts at the National Trust, which runs the site, said the pace of erosion was 'breathtaking', and that the organisation had not expected such extreme levels of damage for another decade.

Peter Nixon, the trust's director of land, landscape and nature, said traditional flood defences can make the situation worse, and warned against trying to 'engineer our way out'.

Mr Nixon said: ‘A false sense of security in artificial defences can lead you to a catastrophic collapse, as opposed to a managed impact.
‘You can’t hold the line everywhere, it’s physically impossible and it’s not good for society.’

Massive Landslide in Alaska (Feb 16)
(This is a supplement to the Glacier Bay landslide reported earlier by Tracie Crespo.)

A commercial pilot has captured images of a massive, snow-strewn landslide that cascaded down a slope in remote southeastern Alaska last week, providing the first on-the-ground evidence of what geologists think might be the world's largest natural landslide since 2010.

The sediment stretched more than four miles down the mountain, and the slide was triggered on a near-vertical mountain face 9,200 feet high.

The landslide occurred on the flank of Mount La Perouse.

Interestingly, this is within 10 km of the hisoric Mount Lituya landslide that occurred in June 2012. (see below)

Columbia University geologists detected the reverberations of what they thought was a landslide on Sunday, Feb. 16, from remote seismic instruments, but had not received on-the-ground confirmation until pilot Drake Olson decided to go searching for the evidence on Friday (Feb. 21). He searched using rough GPS data that the geologists had collected, a blogger for the American Geophysical Union reported today (Feb. 24).

Olson struggled to see the ground through cloud cover at first, but says that the fallen rocks were easy to detect once they came into view.

"It stands out like a sore thumb," Olson told Live Science. "It's a big rubble field and a big gash on the side of the mountain, and everything else is pretty much white, so it's not hard to spot."

The scientists estimate that the slump contains roughly 68 million metric tons of rock, which is equivalent to roughly 40 million SUVs, geologist Colin Stark, a researcher at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, told Live Science last week.

The geologists estimate that the landslide started at roughly 9,800 feet (3,000 meters) above sea level on a nearly vertical cliff, and then ran for roughly 3 miles (4.8 kilometers), wrote AGU blogger David Petley, who is also a professor of hazard and risk at Durham University in the United Kingdom.

The landslide churned up a lot of ice and snow, and appears to be as much as 43 feet (13 meters) thick in some locations. But fresh snow has already begun to bury and hide the landslide, the scientists say.

The researchers have yet to release satellite images that will further help analyze the rocky scar in the snow, but tentatively say that this could be the largest natural landslide since 2010 — a year when a series of large events occurred within Pakistan and the Himalayas.

Two sleeping children crushed to death by giant boulder which destroyed French ski chalet

The youngsters, aged seven and 10, were staying near to the resort of Isola 2000 when a landslide occurred around 5am this morning

Two children have been killed after a giant boulder crushed their ski chalet as they slept.

The youngsters were staying near to the resort of Isola 2000, in the French Alps, when the tragedy happened in the early hours of this morning.

A landslide occurred around 5am which sent the boulder crashing onto the chalet, crushing the children, aged seven and 10, to death.

Jean-Marie Bogini, the mayor of the village of Isola, told reporters: "It happened in a chalet on the outskirts of the village. There was a landslide.

"There were seven people in the house – five adults and two children."

Two families were staying at the chalet when the landslide happened. Some of the adults managed to escape but the children were trapped.

None of those involved have been identified yet.

Gendarme Commander Gael Marchand said: "Three of the survivors managed to get out of the rubble alone, while the remaining two had to be freed by the emergency service."

Huge landslide strikes near Glacier Bay in Southeast Alaska - February 16

http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/20140220/huge-landslide-strik...

A huge landslide tumbled down a mountain in southeast Alaska near Glacier Bay early Sunday morning.

Sunday’s slide appears to have come down the flanks of 10,728-foot Mount La Perouse at 5:24 a.m. local time and flowed in the east-northeast direction, said Colin Stark, a Columbia University geologist who helped develop a new system to detect major landslides around the world using satellite imagery. Calculations of mass suggest it sent about 68 million metric tons of debris down a mountain slope, though that is a “pretty rough estimate,” he said in a telephone interview. "To put in concrete terms, the mass was equivalent to about 190 Empire State Buildings."

20.01.14. In the Comune of Barga there are still problems on the roads up to Albiano but the main point of interest has been up on the old road to Renaio and in particular at Piaggiagrande where a massive landslide during the night covering more than 300 metres has meant that two houses have had to be evacuated and emergency services are closely monitoring the situation.
