Nearing a time of consideration for what happened, and what could have been done, and what to do about where we are going in the #monitoring sector, practice, and business, I was thinking about Dave Petley's comments on Brumadinho, in the very good AGU Blog -- (https://blogs.agu.org/landslideblog/2020/01/20/brumadinho-tailings-disaster/) it struck a somber note and a call for comment and action ......
....Appendix D is rife with unsatisfying analysis and observances unrelated to a progressive monitoring practice. It is less than constructive to consider that you do not see "warnings" in the data, nor that in WHOLE all of the monitoring did not create a "picture" of activity, that was active over several years and that suggested not only localized effects but in total would create alarm that the structure was active and progressive.
