     Extractions: Volcanoes ... Project Pages Landslides are ubiquitous but largely underestimated hazards, primarily because they are often secondary in character and resulting death and damage is allocated to the primary event. In most cases this is either an earthquake, wherein landslides are generated due to strong ground motion, or severe precipitation, which results in mudslides. Landslide interest at the BHRC is focused mainly on ocean island volcano collapse and resulting tsunami and on developing an improved understanding of large volume, long-runout landslides known as Sturzstroms.

You might think avoiding a landslide would mean taking a different road during a rainy spell. However, from his computer at an Intermountain Research Station in Idaho, David Hall of the USDA Forest Service uses Mathematica to avoid landslides. Hall, a computer programmer and analyst, uses Mathematica to solve complex equations for models that replicate the physical processes of landslides. Mathematica handles the symbolic simplification of equations in models that mitigate landslides, or determine where landslides are likely to occur," Hall said. "This helps geotechnical specialists avoid building roads or harvesting timber in areas that appear to be susceptible to landslides."

     Extractions: ponding up warm water in the western Pacific. In the eastern Pacific, the trade winds pull up cold, deep, nutrient-rich waters along the equator from the Ecuadorian coast to the central Pacific. The warmth of the western Pacific results in a particularly vigorous hydrologic cycle there with towering cumulus clouds and tropical storms that "radiate" atmospheric waves and disturbances across vast regions of the globe. Heat and moisture lofted into the upper atmosphere by the clouds and storms are distributed by high-altitude winds across vast regions of the globe. As the waters of the central and eastern Pacific warm, the powerful tropical Pacific storms begin to form farther east than usual (Fig. 1) . As the distribution of storms spreads east along the equator, their influence on global weather systems also changes. Most notably, for our purposes, the jet stream over the North Pacific Ocean is invigorated and pulled farther south than normal, where it collects moisture and storms and carries them to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.

     Extractions: Week of Jan. 24, 2004; Vol. 165, No. 4 , p. 54 Sid Perkins Hydroplaning, the traction-sapping phenomenon that makes high-speed driving dangerous on rainy days, may be responsible for the unexpectedly large distances covered by some undersea avalanches, according to new computer simulations. Sediments carried by rivers often accumulate in thick layers on the sloping seafloors surrounding the continents. When large deposits of that material break loose, the huge flows of silt, clay, and mud that result wreck everything in their paths. Among the victims can be entire communities of seafloor life as well as ocean-floor pipelines and communications cables, says Anders Elverhøi of the University of Oslo. Sediment can slide hundreds of kilometers, even across nearly level slopes. In the so-called Storegga slide, which occurred in the Norwegian Sea more than 8,000 years ago, about 2,500 cubic kilometers of material—enough to make up several sizable mountains—broke free, some of it sliding nearly 500 km toward Greenland. Using computer models they developed, Elverhøi and his colleagues have identified what may be a major factor enabling such landslides to travel so far: a thin layer of water that insinuates itself between the floor and the overlying mass of quick-moving sediment. No longer in contact with the floor, the sediment is akin to a speeding, multi-ton vehicle hydroplaning atop a thin slick of rain on pavement. The Norwegian researchers describe their model in the January

     Extractions: The ground can move without a quake! When most Californians think about ground movement, they probably envision images of the ground below them moving from side to side or up and down during an earthquake. In the aftermath of wildfires such as the 21 blazes that comprised the Southern California Wildfire Siege in 1993, residents of steep hillsides and canyons need to include another type of ground movement in their thoughts and plans. Areas left barren of grasses, plants, shrubs and trees by fire are vulnerable to landslides through sliding, falling and flowing soil, rock, mud, brush and trees, particularly during and after heavy rains, Although slow-moving landslides can cause significant property damage, they usually don't cause any deaths. Mudslides, how- ever, are much more dangerous. According to the California Department of Conservation, mudslides can easily exceed speeds of 10 miles per hour and often flow at rates of more than 20 mph. Because they travel much faster, mudslides can cause deaths and injuries as well as significant property damage. According to the Department of Conservation, landslides and mudslides caused by the 1997-98 El Niño phenomenon caused three deaths and 19 injuries in Southern California alone. Such earth movement also destroyed at least 44 homes, damaged 94 others and resulted in at least the temporary evacuation of more than 1,000 people.

The Office of Civil Defense said 80 houses were destroyed. Dozens of people were injured and the death toll was expected to rise, said Rosette Lerias, governor of the province. "We experienced unusually heavy rains during the last six days," she told Reuters. "The rains triggered the landslides." Lerias said rescue work was hampered by minor landslides that blocked the only roads leading to the disaster area. The two towns are on a small island off the main Leyte island. Officials said there was no power in the affected areas. Leyte province was the scene of the famous sea battle between U.S. and Japanese forces during the Second World War.

We took an airplane yesterday, flying north west of Roseburg. During our short 1.5 hour flight, we saw literally hundreds of landslides coming from clearcuts and their roads. We saw about 4 natural landslides in forested areas. We couldn't see every natural slide from the plane - but I know for sure, there were not hundreds. There were many, many more landslides from clearcuts. The slopes were just dripping with streaks of mud and slides. The draws and valleys were ripped wide open, and oozing with the displaced soil and rocks. We flew over the Hubbard Creek slide, which killed four people last month. It was not the biggest or most impressive slide we saw. It started high on a vertical slope - skinny, small. We saw it widen, saw the path it took through some old-growth, and saw pieces of the house, and scattered wreckage where it went through the rural residential area. There are no words to describe...

Some landslide areas and the causes of sliding have been recognized for decades, but that information has not always been widely known or used outside the geologic community. As the population of Washington grows, there are increasing pressures to develop in landslide-prone areas, so knowledge about these landslide hazards has never been more important.

To promote this initiative, UNESCO and the Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University, Japan (DPRI/KU) has exchanged in 1999 the Memorandum of Understanding concerning cooperation in research for landslide risk mitigation and protection of the cultural and natural heritage as a key contribution to environmental protection and sustainable development in the first quarter of the twenty-first century. The 2001 Tokyo Declaration "Geoscientists tame landslides" was released in the 2001 UNESCO/IGCP Symposium on Landslide Risk Mitigation and Protection of Cultural and Natural Heritage to propose a new International Consortium on Landslides for the worldwide promotion of landslide research. In the framework of the 2002 International Symposium "Landslide Risk Mitigation and Protection of Cultural and Natural Heritage" co-organized by UNESCO and Kyoto University, international experts coming from different National, Scientific, Governmental Organizations, Academic Institutions, Regional and International Organizations, International Non-governmental Organizations and United Nations Organizations unanimously agreed and declared to launch an International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) by the 2002 Kyoto Declaration.
