Meager Creek Landslide

There was just a massive landslide in BC. Enjoy the link below to an article describing the response to the slide and photos from the Search & Rescue team that went in to respond.

I am thinking of ways to turn this into a PhD. :). There is plenty of work to be done in the aftermath. 40 million cubic meters of sediment is comperable to the whole volume I have identified form 50 years of placer mining along the Fraser.
