Medellín | Landslide in the Quebrada Doña María
Martin Mergili
University of Graz, Graz, Austria
This landslide near Medellín happened on 13 July 2022, resulting in two fatalities. Deeply weathered, probably water-saturated residual rock was mobilized and converted into a flow-type movement, stopping a short way downstream after having reached the river. There must have been some short-term damming, but no major dam break flood was noted. After the main event, there was at least one secondary landslide.
