The best landslide videos of 2019<\/h4>\n

The (Northern Hemisphere) summer of 2019 is proving to be exceptionally active from a landslide perspective, with multiple events worldwide.\u00a0 Indeed, to date I have recorded 96 fatal landslide events in July alone, smashing the previous record of 88.\u00a0 This seems to reflect a large number of intense rainfall events, including an active summer monsoon in both South and East Asia.\u00a0 The upshot is that a number of good landslide videos<\/a> are emerging.\u00a0 Rather than posting them iteratively, I thought it would be good to set up a post to collate them. I will endeavour to keep this updated as new videos emerge.<\/p>\n

Whilst the focus will be on landslides during 2019, I will also post interesting videos from previous events too, where I have not featured them previously.\u00a0 The first on the list is one of these.\u00a0 Please use the comments to highlight any video that should be included.<\/p>\n

1. An intriguing video of a valley-blocking landslide from Hunza, Pakistan (in 2018)<\/h4>\n

Thanks to Matt Moore for highlighting this one.\u00a0 I have never seen a slide quite like this – it is a beautiful illustration of the ways in which slope controls movement rate, and multiple pulses of activity can combine to create a complex deposit:<\/p>\n
