This amazing video has been making its way around the geoblogosphere as well as the mainstream media. Pretty remarkable. It ranks up there with the Japanese Landslide Video.

Landslide / Mudslide in Logan Utah
A landslide in Logan Utah caused a portion of a canal to fail, causing a second mudslide. Three people, a mother and two children, were believed to be buried when the mud and debris hit their home. Rescue efforts were halted fairly quickly because of concern regarding the stability of the hillside. So far I have not read any reports that the bodies have been recovered. Map, Videos and more after the break. (Photo by Mike Terry, Deseret News, hat tip to Landslides Under a Microscope Blog)

Dear Sir,
I would like to enquire about the landslide that happened on 15 feb 2010 in Italy ( maierato region).
What are the soil types and what is the structural geology of the area. Any idea as to how could i get the maps?
Thanks,
jaithish
