GEO-SLOPE just announced last week that they have posted over 30 hours of training videos for learning their popular GeoStudio 2007 geotechnical software package. The videos are based on the content of their training workshops, including the annual one in Banf, Canada. They also have links for the example files, handouts and even reference papers that can be downloaded. They say the best format for these ‘self-hosted workshops’ would probably be a group setting in your conference room or something but I imagine you can do it at your own pace as well. Certainly the cost savings over travelling to attend one of their workshops should make this an option for some training on this popular geotechnical software package.

USGS Landslide Documentary Video
The USGS has a documentary on landslide video on landslide danger in the San Francisco Bay area entitled “Riding the Storm”. I think the target audience is more general than geologist or engineer, but it is still interesting. The bullet points from the USGS site:
- A catastrophic 1982 rainstorm triggered 18,000 landslides in the Bay Area, claiming 25 lives and causing $66 million in property damage
- The combination of steep slopes, weak rocks, and intense winter storms make Bay Area uplands an ideal setting for landslides
- Landslides include both swift, potentially deadly debris flows and slower, but destructive deepseated slides
- Learn what USGS scientists have discovered about landslide dynamics and which slopes are most susceptible to sliding
- Hear the devastating stories of Bay Area residents affected by landslides and learn to recognize the danger signs
