Stanley and team's work included in Survival Guide article
As the article begins, "An Alaskan guide was filming a survival video in Juneau, Alaska, for her 170,000 TikTok followers when she suddenly heard a landslide heading toward her." This is a real-world application of "If you see a landslide, say something," which was from a previous post related to Thomas Stanley's (617/UMBC) work with the Landslide Reporter. The guide was safe, and she was able to divert another person away from the landslide. Mr. Stanley, his colleagues, and sponsor Dalia Kirschbaum (GSFC) study, write about, and track landslides. They utilize a NASA model called Landslide Hazard Assessment for Situational Awareness (LHASA).
NOTE: Thomas Stanley and Robert Emberson (617/UMBC) both will be among the panelists at an upcoming Citizen Science event (online):
