[LTER-luq] Tuesday meeting and GoFundMe account

Wed Oct 4 09:31:51 PDT 2017

All,

As most of you know, there is a long history of work on landslides in the
LEF--Walker, Myster, Larsen, Lodge and many other of you have led or
participated in such studies.  I attach a 20 year review of our attempt to
capture the bulk of the landslide research that has occurred in the LEF,
and in this same paper you will see some very basic methods that could be
used to count landslides after Maria and compare some physical
characteristics to those that followed other tropical storms passing
through the LEF.   When I lived in PR, I used to do these counts by driving
all the roads in the LEF, and walking the main trails, making basic
measurements of elevation, slope, size, substrate of landslides that
occurred after storms.  Might be something worth doing if someone had
the interest, and the on-the-ground counts could complement to the aerial
counts.
