Monitoring Surface Displacement in Three Dimensions
After several unseasonably heavy rainstorms, a 105 hectare landslide
occurred at Trapper Coal Mine in northwest Colorado (see Fig 1). Fortunately, the area
was evacuated prior to the slide and no one was injured. In some areas, the slide displaced
ground more than 122 m.Read the complete resource
