Large earthquakes initiate chains of surface processes that last much longer than the brief
moments of strong shaking. Most moderate‐and large‐magnitude earthquakes trigger …

The blocking of river courses by mass movements is very common in mountainous areas
with deep and narrow valleys. Landslide dams may pose serious threats to people and their …

Global warming promotes glacier retreat, snow melting, and permafrost thawing, thereby
increasing landslide activity in alpine mountain regions. However, our understanding of the …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and

The largest terrestrial coalescent landslide areas of the Earth, spanning hundreds to
thousands of square kilometres, occur along the fringes of relatively low-relief sedimentary …

Rockfall is one of the main phenomena in mountainous environments due to its fast and
high speed of movement, its unpredictability, and, therefore, the difficulty of identifying signs …

Long-runout rockslides at high altitude could cause disaster chain in river basins and
destroy towns and major infrasturctures. This paper firstly explores the initiation mechanism …

Typhoon Morakot induced the catastrophic and deadly Shiaolin landslide in southern
Taiwan on 9 August 2009, resulting in more than 400 casualties. We undertook a geological …
