Summary
Scientists at UC San Diego have cracked the code on predicting coastal landslides, successfully warning authorities hours or days before five major slides — including a dramatic 2024 Del Mar bluff collapse that dumped 200 tons onto the beach. Since the 1940s, these deadly slides have claimed 19 lives, with a 2019 Encinitas disaster killing three and halting train service. Driven by that tragedy, Scripps Institution of Oceanography is now racing to turn predictions into a real-time warning system — a lifeline for California’s vulnerable coastlines, especially as an El Niño looms with heavy rain and waves. Lead researcher Adam Young was stunned by how clearly sensors detected the danger — landslides strike anytime, and now, thanks to this breakthrough, we might finally be able to stop them before they strike.
