Education

The USGS Landslide Hazards Seminar is a speaker series that brings together landslide researchers, academics, students, applied scientists, and others to share their work in a long format. Topics range from deep dives into numerical models to broad overviews of landslide hazards of a state. The 50-minute presentations are presented live on regular Wednesdays at 2:00 PM Mountain Time.

Brief summaries of landslides science and research in plain language.

Landslides occur in all 50 states and territories and they affect lives, property, infrastructure, and the environment. Understanding when, where, and how landslides occur can help to reduce the risk of living with these natural hazards.

If you live on or below a slope, here are some simple steps you can do to identify a landslide hazard and reduce your landslide risk.

Geological Surveys, city and county governments, and professional consultants may have specific landslide information for your area. The American Association of State Geologists (AASG) maintains a directory of all State Geological Surveys.
