Abstract
The BGS has a 175-year history of mapping and recording geology including unstable land.
However, public awareness of such potential problems was not awakened until the Aberfan
disaster, 44 years ago, when a school was buried by a landslide from a coal spoil tip killing
144 people, including 116 children. Since that event BGS research into landslides and
unstable land has increased and new techniques have been developed to measure, monitor
and model them.
