In a new paper, Zhu et al. (2019) report the discovery of the giant Baiyun–Liwan submarine slide, which covers an area of c.40,000 sq km in the South China Sea

A paper has recently been posted to EarthArXiv providing an analysis of the flank failure of Anak Krakatau on 22 Dec 2018, which generated a tsunami that killed 431 people.

Submarine landslides can creep too: we have just published a paper (Carey et al. 2019) in the journal Geomorphology exploring the mechanisms of movement of the Tuaheni landslide offshore from New Zealand

2018 will be remembered as a year of extraordinary landslides. This is my list of the ten most important landslide events of 2018

Anak Krakatau: @planetlabs have captured excellent imagery, including a high resolution SkySat view, of the aftermath of the landslide

Chaos Jumbles: a fine example of a large volcanic landslide in California, caused by three successive dome collapse events

DigitalGlobe has released high resolution imagery of two of the the Palu landslides, triggered by the 2018 Sulawesi earthquake last week

The city of Palu appears to have suffered from three very large (over 1 km) landslides in the 2018 Sulawesi earthquake, all causing huge amounts of damage

Video has emerged on Youtube apparently showing lateral spreads as they were triggered by the 2018 Sulawesi earthquake on Friday

A large rockslope failure occurred at Cowee Creek near to Juneau in Alaska in December 2016, inducing a 9 m high, 90 m wide displacement wave that travelled at least 13 km down the valley
