A geomorphic paradox

A geomorphic paradox highlights the dynamic forces underlying landslips and coastal erosion on the Dorset and East Devon Coast. The study focuses on the Great Landslip, a significant geological event that reshaped the Bindon landscape and left a lasting impact on local communities. Through the artistic project 'Sturzstrom' and the Landslip Festival, the research explores how creative responses emerged from the fractured terrain, illustrating the interplay between geomorphic processes and human perception. The work underscores the paradoxical nature of land movement—surface shifts driven by deeper, dynamic forces—while also documenting the cultural significance of such events in shaping heritage narratives.
