Uncover the Science Behind Landslide Prediction: NASA's A.6 LACCE Experiment
Are you ready to dive into the fascinating world of landslide science? NASA's A.6 Landslide Change Characterization Experiment (LACCE) is a groundbreaking initiative that aims to unravel the mysteries of slow-moving, deep-seated landslides. But here's where it gets intriguing: these landslides are influenced by seasonal and inter-annual precipitation patterns, as well as the subtle forces of river erosion, wave action, and ice retreat. How's that for a complex natural phenomenon?
The LACCE Science Team is on a mission to build a comprehensive understanding of these landslides by gathering airborne and ground-based measurements, processing and analyzing data, and utilizing modeling and laboratory techniques. This team is the key to unlocking the secrets of these slow-moving landslides, which can have significant impacts on communities and infrastructure.
The latest development in this project is the release of the final text for the A.6 LACCE Science Team, which was previously marked as TBD. This crucial information is now available for all to see, with mandatory Notices of Intent due on February 27, 2026, and full proposals due on April 14, 2026. Keep an eye out for this amendment to the NASA Research Announcement 'Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025' on January 12, 2025.
