Landslides are one of the most critical categories of natural disasters worldwide and induce
severely destructive outcomes to human life and the overall economic system. To reduce its …

Glaciation and deglaciation, along with their associated climatic and non-climatic processes,
modify slope stresses and influence slope stability. Paraglacial slope failures are those that …

This book recognizes groundwater flow as a fundamental geologic agent, and presents a
wide-ranging and illustrated overview of its history, principles, scientific consequences and …

Deep seated gravitational slope deformations (DSGSD) are widespread phenomena,
recognized in different mountain ranges worldwide. The distribution of such phenomena at …

Earthquake-induced landslides constitute a critical component of seismic hazard in
mountainous regions. While many seismic slope stability analysis methods exist with varying …

The importance of earthquakes in triggering catastrophic failure of deep-seated landslides
has long been recognized and is well documented in the literature. However, seismic waves …

Loess landslides are a severe engineering geological problem on the Loess Plateau of
China. This study relies on interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and unmanned …

This paper presents the geometry, kinematics and temporal deformation characteristics of a
deep-seated rockslide system, the “Hochmais–Atemkopf”, situated above the Gepatsch dam …

Giant, deep-seated gravitational slope deformations (DSGSDs) affecting entire high-relief
valley walls are common in alpine areas, and influence the evolution of mountain …

The episodic movement of deep-seated landslides is often governed by the presence of
high pore pressures and reduced effective stresses along active shear surfaces. Pore …
