Ponce, Puerto Rico Landslide Monitoring Station
The Ponce monitoring station is situated on a moderately steep slope where landslide susceptibility is classified as very high. It is underlain by the Lago Garzas formation in a heavily vegetated area.
Yauco, Puerto Rico Landslide Monitoring Station
The Yauco monitoring station is located in the northern portion of the Yauco municipality, near the Yacuo-Maricao municipalities boundary. Landslide susceptibility is classified as very high at this site, which is underlain by Yauco Mudstone on a very steep slope in a heavily vegetated area.
Puerto Rico Landslide Monitoring Network
The USGS and the University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez installed instruments to monitor hillslope hydrological conditions in fifteen municipalities in mountainous regions across Puerto Rico.
Hydrologic monitoring data in steep, landslide-prone terrain, Sitka, Alaska, USA
This data release includes time-series data and qualitative descriptions from a monitoring station on a steep, landslide-prone slope above the City of Sitka, Alaska. On August 18, 2015, heavy rainfall triggered around 60 landslides in and around Sitka. These landslides moved downslope rapidly; several were damaging, and one demolished a home on South Kramer Avenue and killed three people...
Utility of a swath laser rangefinder for characterizing mass movement flow depth and landslide initiation
Mass movements such as debris flows and landslides are some of the deadliest and most destructive natural hazards occurring mostly in alpine and volcanic settings. With ever-growing populations located downslope from known debris flow channels, early warning systems can help prevent loss of life. Geophysical and technological advances have improved monitoring and detection capabilities...
