Last week, a highway in #Turkey suffered a spectacular retaining slope failure. Causes might include failure through the foundation or a buildup of excess pore water pressures, according to @davepetley in #AGUblogs' The #Landslide Blog.

Check out this study on slope deformation sensors that were developed to monitor the subsurface movements of a silty sand slope, as a means of investigating the precursors of #landslides induced by rainfall

If anyone wants to know how to ‘make the earth move’ & to measure ‘how’ a slope moves, ‘how much’ it moves, & ‘when’, with a view to setting up early warning systems, please read Amin’s @DAskarinejad paper from the Ruedlingen landslide. #SensorDevelopment#OpenAccess
