Executive editor
This paper describes a new apparatus that allows both solid and fluid state materials under deformation to be studied simultaneously. Such a device has not earlier been available. It has important applications in variety of geological hazards, such as landslides, glacial slip, and the transition from earthquakes to slow slips.

Short summary
Multiple geologic hazards, such as landslides and earthquakes, arise when solids and fluids coexist and deform together. We designed an experimental apparatus that allows us to observe such deformation in 3D. The first results show how fluids and solids deform and break at the same time, allowing us to study the impact of both materials on deformation distribution and speed. Making these processes visible has the potential to improve risk assessments associated with geological hazards.
