#StormBert is forecast to bring heavy rain this weekend. As this can cause landslides, we'll be keeping an eye on southern and western parts of the UK. You can report a landslide to us here on BlueSky.

Bournemouth had a landslip along the prom yesterday www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/2466440... the landslip happened a few days after a heavy bout of rain 😓 followed by a day and a half of dry. Other progressive landslips across the prom are evident.

Another rockfall at West Bay, Dorset, UK, this week. These rockfalls can happen suddenly and without warning. The coastal footpath has been diverted further inland here as these cliffs are so unstable. Beautiful coastline but best viewed from a distance. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hello! Bluesky tells me we’ve gained a few followers over the last week. Welcome! We’ve been here a while and not been particularly active yet. We tend to post about UK landslides, what we’ve been up to or generally interesting landslide things. Always happy to engage so here’s a hello to you all! 😊

A nice bit of mindful craft. BGS staff took tiles home and brought them back completed. Some of the BGS Landslides Team took part and managed to bag places like the Dorset coastline, where some of the UK’s finest examples landslides are. We are nothing if not enthusiastic about our work…
