2003 Landslide News Archives


The USGS is prohibited from reproducing copyrighted news articles on its web pages--as a result, we generally report landslides of significant magnitude or those that our research team has investigated.  Since we do not receive automatic reports of landslides everywhere in the world, it is suggested that those searching for recent landslides, also engage the use of local newspapers, most of which are readily accessible on the internet.
