In California, the emblematic image of landslides often coincides with storm seasons. Torrential rain saturates the soil, causing the intricate connection between soil and rock to weaken and ultimately collapse. While these dramatic occurrences yield plenty of public discourse, less attention is directed toward the subtler, almost covert landslides that occur during the drier months.
