Our engineers continue to respond to the landslip at the #Honiton Tunnel, between Axminster and Honiton. We are on site clearing the debris and also stabilising the land as the soil kept moving for a number of hours yesterday. We are working as hard as we can to rectify this as

Thanks to all the rain we’ve had of late there’s been a massive landslide over at Totaig behind the castle today! 😮 The earth moved 3 times!

Mary Buckland, née Morland, View of the Axmouth Landslip, 1840. On Christmas Day in 1839 a massive landslide occurred between Axmouth and Lyme Regis near where prominent geologists Dr William and Mary Buckland, were staying for the Christmas holidays.

Another reminder to take note of any local warning or advice when visiting coastal cliff locations. Landslides and rockfalls can happen at any time. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

We think our coastline is something special but it's also part of a changing landscape. Coastal erosion sees cliff fall on a regular basis. #BeCliffAware - respect the landscape and avoid getting too close to the edge. 📷 Joel Vodell #SevenSisters #SouthDowns

Out in Science! We solved the mystery of a 9-day-long global seismic signal from September 2023: a massive landslide in Greenland caused a 200m tsunami, sending seismic waves worldwide for nine days. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A nice bit of mindful craft. BGS staff took tiles home, bringing them back complete. 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…
