Utuado, Puerto Rico Landslide Monitoring Station
The Utuado monitoring station is located directly upslope from the Lake Caonillas dam. It is vegetatively unique compared to the other stations in that the surrounding vegetation is mainly switchgrass, with sparse trees. The steep slopes at the station are underlain by Cretaceous granodiorite and quartz-diorite.
