The photo compares LiDAR images of the Beach Road landslide area collected in 2014 and 2020, after the slide occurred. Comparing the detailed images allows geologists to measure where slide material came from, where it ended up and in what quantity it moved. Dark green areas show where slide material came from and red areas show where the material was deposited. The information can be used to assess future slide potential in the area, and assist with search and rescue plans.
