Figure 3

Motion began decades prior to failure. Signs of slope failure in the landslide source area (Fig. 1) were first noted in 199619. Further motion occurred between 2002 and 2012, and the landslide occurred in 2015. Landsat imagery aligned and animated through Google Earth Engine52 shows motion progressing yearly during a sequence of images from 1995 to 1998, and that some motion motion (less rapid than 1995 to 1998) occurred between 2010 and 2015. Other portions of the image sequence are too unclear to tell whether motion occurred. The lower panel includes an inferred failure plane from 25.
