Science and Products
Ponce, Puerto Rico Landslide Monitoring Station
The Ponce monitoring station is situated on a moderately steep slope where landslide susceptibility is classified as very high. It is underlain by the Lago Garzas formation in a heavily vegetated area.
Yauco, Puerto Rico Landslide Monitoring Station
The Yauco monitoring station is located in the northern portion of the Yauco municipality, near the Yacuo-Maricao municipalities boundary. Landslide susceptibility is classified as very high at this site, which is underlain by Yauco Mudstone on a very steep slope in a heavily vegetated area.
Puerto Rico Landslide Monitoring Network
The USGS and the University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez installed instruments to monitor hillslope hydrological conditions in fifteen municipalities in mountainous regions across Puerto Rico.
Hydrologic monitoring data in steep, landslide-prone terrain, Sitka, Alaska, USA
This data release includes time-series data and qualitative descriptions from a monitoring station on a steep, landslide-prone slope above the City of Sitka, Alaska. On August 18, 2015, heavy rainfall triggered around 60 landslides in and around Sitka. These landslides moved downslope rapidly; several were damaging, and one demolished a home on South Kramer Avenue and killed three people. On Septe
