The Archaeology of a Landslide
The multidisciplinary research described here shows how archaeologists can help reconstruct past seismic episodes and understand the subsequent relief operation, rehabilitation, and reconstruction processes. In October 1522, a major earthquake and landslide struck the then capital of the Azores, Vila Franca do Campo, 1500 km from the European mainland. Damage was extensive, destroying key monuments, affecting most of the inhabited area, and leavi…
Global fatal landslide occurrence from 2004 to 2016
Landslides are a ubiquitous hazard in terrestrial environments with slopes, incurring human fatalities in urban settlements, along transport corridors and at sites of rural industry. Assessment of landslide risk requires high-quality landslide databases. Recently, global landslide databases have shown the extent to which landslides impact on society and identified areas most at risk. Previous global analysis has focused on rainfall-triggered land…
Landslide disaster mitigation in the Three Gorges Reservoir, China
Fluvial transportation and sedimentation of the Fu-shan small experimental catchments
Mountain Geomorphology
Large-scale Geologic Structures
Historical Constraints on Slope Movement Age
The Broadway area of the Cotswolds has been extensively investigated in an attempt to delineate areas of slope instability, including'relict'landslides, which may have been initiated under periglacial climatic conditions. It is, therefore, useful both in terms of the geomorphology and of the understanding of the evolution of the area, to investigate the rates and timing of any reactivation and subsequent movements of landslides in this area. The …
Geomorphological Mapping for Hazard Assessment in a Neotectonic Terrain
logical mapping for the assessment of natural hazards in one such area, Taroko Gorge in eastern Taiwan, and investigates the risk susceptibility of a highway running through the area. The gorge, which comprises a 600-metre deep ravine incised into marble and schist since the Pliocene, is subject to extremely high rates of uplift, intense seismic activity and the direct effects of an average of about two typhoons per annum, each of which may induc…
