The British Columbia landslides and floods – new images of the impacts<\/h4>\n

Over the last few days new sets of images have been posted online of the enormous impact of the landslides that affected parts of British Columbia a week ago<\/a>, caused by an exceptional rainfall event.\u00a0 The most comprehensive images that I have seen were posted to Twitter<\/a> by Brent Ward<\/a> (@GeoBrentatlarge) from Simon Fraser University<\/a>, resulting from a helicopter flight that he took with my former PhD student Sergio Sepulveda<\/a>, also of SFU.\u00a0 The Twitter thread is is below:<\/p>\n

Many have seen the mess at #TankHill<\/a> that closed #Highway1<\/a>. Few have seen the source area. No point source, just too much water on hydrophobic soils, burnt by the Lytton fires. A flood turned to a landslide. A classic natural hazard cascade. #BCStorm<\/a> #BCLandslides<\/a> #BCfloods<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/5evy7841xT<\/a><\/p>\n
