Novel topic No 6 - watch out below!

So, some people study landslides.  Hence, we have The Landslide Blog.

With increased intensity of rainfall expected under AGW (whoops, sorry, that's not a novel topic) there will probably be more and more work for landslide specialists.

The blog is full of scary photos of the aftermath of landslides.   For example, this row of terrace houses in England did not do well out of the recent rains:























And some landslides seem to just be giant boulder slides:

An even better bit of road blockage was in Malaysia earlier this year:

  

No one was killed.  

Anyway, it's an interesting natural disaster blog.
