Articles relating to landslides, several forms of mass wasting that may include a wide range of ground movements, such as rockfalls, shallow or deep-seated slope failures, mudflows, and debris flows.
The knowledge of the landslide frequency is a fundamental element for any kind of probabilistic evaluation. Furthermore, the evaluation of the age of the landslide permits to correlate the trigger to specific conditions, as earthquakes or periods of intense rains. It is possible that phenomena could be occurred in past geological times, under ...
The topics covered by the journal range from landslide identification and monitoring, remote sensing, laboratory and field testing, to risk assessment and mitigation. It was established in 2004 as the official journal of the International Consortium on Landslides and is published by Springer Science+Business Media .
New drilling in Rancho Palos Verdes has revealed that devastating land movement has been caused, at least partially, by a deeper slip plane — meaning a larger area could be affected.
From 1974 to 1978, an 80 acre landslide [28] [29] occurred in the Abalone Cove area. [2] [13] [25] The lower part of the landslide started to move in February 1974. [28] The "Abalone Cove Slide" was moving so slow that geologists did not verify that it was an actual slide until 1976, after it had damaged roughly twenty homes. [30]
A landslide reduced a Los Angeles house under renovation to a jumble of lumber, pulled the pool and deck away from a second home, and left the pool at a third residence on the edge of a huge ...
Drone view of houses as an evacuation warning is issued and electricity is turned off after recent landslides have effected the Portuguese Bend neighborhood of Rancho Palos Verdes, California ...
[2] [4] Varnes began a study of landslide classification that lasted 4 decades. His paper in the Highway Research Board book on Landslides and Engineering Practice (1958) [ 5 ] together with its revisions 1978 [ 6 ] and, with David Cruden, 1996 [ 7 ] established a worldwide standard for such classification.
