Comment on What does that landslide actually look like? by Philip Prince
['Philip Prince']
Comments for Philip S Prince, Geologist
Over the past year of focused landslide mapping here in southern Appalachia, I have noted that slides that are this crisply defined in lidar hillshade are often found to be active upon field inspection, with soil-exposing scarps, ground ruptures and fissures, and trees back-rotating or being pushed over. Numerous kinematic features are beautifully defined on the slide, with detail on the slide’s toe and laterals being particularly impressive and comparable with confirmed active slides in the area. The accompanying hillshade images show where each photograph was taken, with the points of the yellow arrows resting on the photographer’s position (this is to avoid covering the details of the slide with the arrow).
