Landslide in La Rivière, France. “Aspects of landslide activity in the Mercantour Massif and the French Riviera, southeastern France” “Landslides pose serious hazards in the Mercantour Massif and the French Riviera in southeastern France. The context for landslide development is a particularly favourable one, both in terms of the geomorphic and structural setting of this Alpine region, and of the climatic, hydrologic and seismic factors that trigger such failures. High mountain relief and steep slopes constitute a very favourable setting for failures affecting massive basement rocks and a very heterogeneous sedimentary cover whose resistance has been weakened by weathering, tectonic stresses, and cambering due to gravity. Among trigger factors, the important appears to be the precipitation regime. Rainfalls are commonly concentrated into short high-intensity downpours or into bursts of sustained falls over periods of several days, leading to soil saturation and lubrication of potential failure planes. Snowmelt also contributes to these lubrication processes. Earthquakes affecting this region are also a potentially important landslide trigger. However, while a lot of work has been done on the relationship between extreme climatic events and landslide activity, much less is known of the trigger effects of earthquakes.” https://lnkd.in/eiQHr5yM 🎥Thanks for sharing, *ℂ𝕠𝕡𝕪𝕣𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥𝕤 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕧𝕚𝕕𝕖𝕠 𝕓𝕖𝕝𝕠𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕠 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕡𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕠𝕨𝕟𝕖𝕣.

Did you know there is geological history at Bear Run Nature Reserve? When the continental plate containing North and South America collided with the continental plate containing Africa, about 300 million years ago, it had a big impact on what would become the Bear Run landscape! Multiple layers of sandstone (now known as Pottsville sandstone), shale and limestone were forced up into long parallel ridges. Since then, moving water has gradually eroded the softer limestone and shale, creating the stream we know as Bear Run, which cascades from more resistant sandstone ledges to create a series of waterfalls. Learn about this history, and how the landscape impacted Fallingwater's design, in a free recorded webinar, the Geology of Fallingwater: https://bit.ly/4aOt5qw Dr. Fred Zelt, a geologist and Western Pennsylvania native, discusses Bear Run's landscape and how the stone, stream and mountain shape and enhance the organic and geologic design of Fallingwater. #Geology #geologyRocks #Fallingwater #BearRunNatureReserve

For a masters degree I proposed to study the Moodies Group of the Barberton Supergroup. Seeing that it has no published data on palaeomagnetism, a lot of questions are unanswered. Being a snapshot in the geological record (deposited in no more than 14Ma), it's timing is not well constrained. The two aspects will be dealt with and the gap in literature will be addressed through the Intercontinental Drilling Project (ICDP) of Barberton Archean Surface Environments (BASE) in Barberton Makhonjwa Mountains (UNESCO pronounced world heritage site).

The road cut though Sideling Hill, Maryland, is a text book example of a classic syncline that is a magnet for geology field trips. Sideling Hill is a long, steep, narrow mountain ridge that runs north to south across western #Maryland. For centuries, this ridge blocked the path of travelers who wanted to go between Maryland and West Virginia. The first passage of Sideling Hill was a railroad tunnel blasted through it in 1873 -74. When the interstate highway system was being developed, it was determined that a tunnel would be too expensive and a road cut was planned instead. Excavation began in April 1983 and 4.5 million cubic yards (~10 million tons) of rock was removed before the highway was opened in August 1985. The road cut exposes almost 810 feet (246 m) of strata folded in a beautiful syncline that provides an excellent outdoor classroom to study sedimentary rocks, structural geology, and geomorphology. Exposed rocks consist of Late Devonian to primarily Mississippian Formations that include conglomerates, sandstones, siltstones, mudstones, shale, coal, and even diamictite (see comment definition). The fold formed due to the enormous compressional forces generated during the Alleghenian Orogeny when the North American and African continents collided. Folding began during the Mississippian Period and the orogeny peaked during the late Permian (~230 to 240 Mya). Sideling Hill lies within the Valley and Ridge Physiographic Province of eastern North America, a region characterized by tightly folded strata. Erosion of these folds produced a series of subparallel ridges and valleys, with the anticlinal ridges generally capped by erosion-resistant sandstones and the intervening valleys underlain by soluble limestones and easily eroded shales. At first, Sideling Hill appears to be an unusual feature because the syncline would more likely form a valley rather than a ridge. However, the youngest rocks in the core of the syncline are resistant sandstones and conglomerates that therefore cap the ridge.

A new video of a landslide on a highway fill in Wyoming, USA. It is too early to comment on the root causes of this event, but one thing that jumps out about this video is people's behaviors around landslides. You can see someone walking within between the scarp and cracks behind the scarp. The person taking the video has to be right up to the edge of the scarp to get the angles for the video. Both of these are high-risk areas because this is a fresh landslide, and the scarp is still reaching equilibrium (as seen by continued calving of the slope in other videos of the area). It always amazes me how often people are willing to put themselves at risk to look over the top edge of a landslide. As professionals, our first duty after a landslide is to keep people safe, including ourselves. My recommendation for inspecting active landslide areas – use a drone. You will get a better perspective and more details while staying out of harm’s way. What do you do to keep people safe after a landslide event?
