Stunning weather on #VancouverIsland during our fieldtrip! We hope to be able to decipher #sealevel history and recurrence of #tsunamis in the region. Thanks to Jessica Pilarczyk for making this unique trip possible! #Cascadia #fieldwork

Tilted houses and tree due to continuous #creeping since centuries in #Sibratsgfäll #Rindberg #Austria. A major phase of #landslide activity in May 1999 occurred after presistent 2-week long #rainfall with rates of #downlsope movement of up to 10 m per day!

Ever heard of #Earthquake / #Seismic Baroque? It´s earthquake-proof churches. Height & width ~ equal to reduce rocking motion. Bell tower built serperately as the most vulnerable part that may collapse into the main building #architecture #Philippines #Luzon #Paoay #Vigan UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳

#Beach #nourishment in #Manila #Philippines: offshore #sand is pumped into nearshore waters for land reclamation and later development. I can´t help, but think of #liquefaction and sinking or tilting of builings during the next large #earthquake! #engineering #replenishment

Far-field effects of #typhoon #Krathon during the #IGCP725 field trip in northern #Luzon #Philippines: Large #swell #waves left #wrack, most of all plastic and #driftwood, on the beaches and locally caused significant #coastal #erosion.

Today, we honor the lives lost and resilience of survivors of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, which claimed over 200,000 lives 20 years ago. A stark reminder of nature’s power and the need for preparedness. More about our work on tsunami preparedness 👉ow.ly/AMTc50UsClp
