B.C. has seen a lake tsunami before — and it could happen again | CBC News In 2007, a massive landslide crashed into B.C.'s Lake Chehalis, triggering a tsunami that surged 38 metres up the shore — one of the most dramatic inland waves ever recorded. CBC’s Johanna Wagstaffe l...

Exciting to see lake tsunami research in the spotlight! I joined CBC to talk about our work at Chehalis Lake and how we can go about better understanding lake tsunami hazard here in BC. #Geohazards #LakeTsunami #ScienceCommunication

Another new paper alert! We experimentally validate a deep-learning–based 2D inverse model for turbidity currents, enabling flow reconstruction over complex seafloor topography.

These cave systems discharge continental water into the Caribbean Sea, providing a natural drainage system during cyclonic events. If these underground water conduits are suddenly modified or obstructed, water accumulates, causing major floods.

Rebelión en la granja Llegan las noticias de que en el estado de Yucatán aprobaron la construcción y operación de una granja de enormes dimensiones con la capacidad de albergar a 49,000 cerdos en el municipio de Homún, …

Siempre vigente…

La pesadilla para los habitantes de Homún empezó hace varios años cuando les dijeron que construirían un “camino que llevaría a una laguna”, más tarde se enteraron que se había autorizado la instalación de una granja.

Great morning start, today, when I discovered this message on my whiteboard, written by two students from ENSG-Geomatique (France) happy of their internship at the AfricaMuseum. Thank YOU, guys! It was a pleasure to welcome you.

Influence of temperature on the residual shear strength of landslide soil: role of the clay fraction The occurrence and fate of landslides are, among other factors, controlled by the shear strength of the materials involved and by how this strength changes during the landslide process. Temperature affects the strength of pure clays according to their mineralogy, stress history, and hydro-mechanical boundary conditions. However, natural soils often consist of heterogeneous mixtures of various clay and non-clay minerals. The effect of temperature on the residual shear strength of low-plasticity soils, in particular, remains poorly understood.

New publication alert!

How to Predict a Subsea Catastrophe Before It Happens A Texas A&M breakthrough shows how reordering site investigation data could help predict underwater landslides — before they devastate energy infrastructure.

Entire energy networks lie exposed beneath the sea. This method could be our early warning system. #UnderwaterLandslides #GeoHazards #OffshoreSafety

Satellite data from ship captures landslide-generated tsunami for the first time Landslide-generated tsunamis pose a serious risk to coastal communities, particularly within narrow fjords where tall cliffs can trap and amplify waves. Scientists rely heavily on earthquake-based observation systems to issue tsunami warnings, but these methods don't always capture localized ground movement caused by landslides.

Hidden waves of danger! 🌊 Landslides in fjords can birth silent, amplified tsunamis. Current warnings miss these localized threats…😱 #geohazards

Reading the Earth: GeoRiskA’s Research on Geohazards and Disaster Risks On 22 April, we celebrate Earth Day. Since its first edition in 1970, Earth Day has become a key moment to reflect on our relationship with the planet, promote sustainability, and support initiatives ...

Happy Earth Day to everyone!

The GeoRiskA team takes advantage of this international day dedicated to our planet Earth to share some examples of scientific activities on geohazards and disaster risks.
