Episode Details

Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego have uncovered a potentially life-saving pattern: coastal bluff collapses often show measurable ground movement 1-2 days before disaster strikes. After a deadly 2019 collapse, researchers deployed sensors at key beaches like Grandview and Del Mar, tracking five subsequent collapses—all preceded by the same telltale acceleration. While still in development, this breakthrough could soon enable early warnings to protect beachgoers and prevent future tragedies along California’s ever-changing coastline.
