A NASA study using TRMM satellite data revealed that the year 2010 was a particularly bad year for landslides around the world. The work is part of an ongoing effort to catalog worldwide rainfall-triggered landslides-one of the world's lesser known but often catastrophic natural hazards. Locating them is a step in an effort to be able, one day, to predict and warn. [Source: NASA Climate Change News]
