Morphological Changes Detection of a Large Earthflow Using Archived Images, LiDAR-Derived DTM, and UAV-Based Remote Sensing
In mountainous landscapes, where strongly deformed pelitic sediments outcrop, earthflows can dominate denudation processes and landscape evolution. This paper investigated geological and geomorphological features and space-time evolution over a 65-year time span (1954–2019) of a large earthflow, representative of wide sectors of the Apennine chain of southern Italy. The landslide, with a maximum length of 1.85 × 103 m, affects an area of 4.21 × 105 m2 and exhibits two source zones: a narrow and elongated transport zone and a lobate accumulation zone. Spatial and temporal morphological changes of the earthflow were assessed, comparing multi-source and multi-temporal data (aerial photographs, Google Earth satellite images, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) system data). Geomorphic changes, quantified using Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) of differences, highlighted an extensive lowering of the topographic surface in the source area and a significant uplift at the landslide toe. Moreover, the multi-temporal analysis showed a high increase of landslide surface (more than 66%) during the last 65 years. The volumetric analyses showed that different sectors of the earthflow were active at different times, with different rates of topographic change. Overall, the used approach highlighted the great potentiality of the integration of multi-source and multi-temporal data for the diachronic reconstruction of morphological landslide evolution.

Carl De Keyzer : higher ground
In 'Moments before the Flood' vat Carl De Keyzer de idee dat Europa door de opwarming van het klimaat dreigt te overstromen, in beelden. In 'Higher Ground' is de vloedgolf al achter de rug. De gelauwerde Magnumfotograaf verbeeldt een fictionele wereld waarin mensen hogere oorden opzoeken en migreren naar de bergtoppen. In foto's genomen in Oostenrijk, Zwitserland, Duitsland, Frankrijk en Spanje, vinden ironie en oprechte bezorgdheid elkaar. Zo zet 'Higher Ground' aan tot nadenken over de klimaatverandering. De Franse literaire grootheid Philippe Claudel schreef er een treffend fictief verhaal bij. Exhibition: Botanique, Brussels, Belgium (February 2017- ).

In Dream and Soil: A Conversation with Bea Nettles
Bea Nettles rose to prominence at the beginning of 1970 with her autobiographical mixed-media and photographic work. During that year she had a solo show at the George Eastman House (now the George Eastman Museum, or GEM) in Rochester, New York, and was also included in the seminal exhibition Photography into Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). Nettles has been exhibiting her work for nearly fifty years and is included in the collections of MoMA; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the National Gallery of Canada; the Phillips Collection in Washington DC; the International Museum of Photography at the GEM; and the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, Tucson. In 2016, her early work began to pop up around the country in various exhibitions including at the Met, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Portland Museum of Art. The recent reappearance of Nettles's early work-from the single pieces of the late 1960s to her Mountain Dream Tarot card deck (1975) and her visual autobiography Flamingo in the Dark (1979)- in museums and galleries is neither happenstance nor anomaly, but rather evidence of her importance in the history of American art. In an interview, she discusses the recent exhibitions of her early work and Dante Enters Hell, her more recent book. Dream States: Contemporary Photographs and Video was on view at the Met, May 16-October 30, 2016.2. Photography and Contemporary Experience was on view at the Portland Museum of Art, August 27, 2016-March 5, 2017.

Imagining Deep Time
From a human perspective, mountain ranges seem unchanging and permanent; yet, in the context of geological time, such landscapes are merely fleeting. Their change occurs on a scale far beyond human experience. Whereas people measure time in terms of years, days, and minutes, geological change occurs within the scale of deep time, the gradual movement of evolutionary change. The concept of deep time was introduced in the 18th century, but it wasn't until 1980 that John McPhee coined the term \"deep time\" in his book Basin and Range. The Imagining Deep Time exhibition looks at the human implications of deep time through the lens of artists who bring together rational and intuitive thinking. The featured artists use a wide range of styles and media, including sound, photography, painting, printmaking, and sculptures made of everyday materials such as mirrors, LED lights, motors, and gears. The exhibition explores the role of the artist in helping us imagine a concept outside the realm of human experience.

Mount St. Helens: An Artistic Aftermath
When eighteenth- and nineteenth-century tourists in search of the sublime and the beautiful visited Italy's Mount Vesuvius, they turned to artists for documentation of the experience. Philippe de Loutherbourg, Angelica Kauffman, J.M.W. Turner, Ingres, Corot, Bierstadt, and Degas are among those who painted \"the fatal mountain.\" In addition, many less well-known artists produced paintings, drawings, and engravings of the erupting volcano as souvenirs for the wealthy traveler or as illustrations for travel books and scientific treatises.
