For further information, visit the website of the Fran...

Aeons ago, a gigantic rockfall off the face of Mount Sirdar in the background tumbled down to block the water outflowing from the Maligne River. The water now percolates underground for about 1-2 km then re-emerges from under the rockfall.

Through much of the Big Sur region (and elsewhere, for that matter) the Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1) is built on steep slopes that are naturally eroding into the Pacific Ocean. Often this erosion is slow and unnoticed, but occasionally it is more dramatic, when landslides take out large sections of highway in a r...

Located just outside Lake City, Colorado. Unfortunately this viewpoint was somewhat obscured by the growth of aspens. Nonetheless, I think one can make out the general dimensions of the slide and at least some of its details.

The Black Ven landslide is one of the largest coastal landslides in Europe. The slip from 1958/9 pushed mud approximately 200m into the sea and the remnants of one slip can still be seen as an arc of boulders in the lower left of the image. As a result these beaches are famous for fossils as are the ledges at low tide ...

This is a "doomed" outcrop of the Miocene-aged (~14 Ma) Calvert Formation on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay. "Bed 14," a distinctive fossiliferous unit, is exposed here thanks to the effort of one of the local landowners. In a month or two, this entire outcrop will be permanently covered with "hard stabilization" ...
