Deep-seated gravitational slope deformations (DSGSDs) are slow moving, hillslope-scale
mass movements featuring characteristic landforms such as double-crested ridges and …

The ages of 31 postglacial rock-slope failures (RSFs) in Scotland and NW Ireland, derived
from 89 cosmogenic isotope exposure ages, are employed to analyse the temporal pattern …

This paper provides a snapshot of the permafrost thermal state in the Nordic area obtained
during the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007–2009. Several intensive research campaigns …

Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) provides high-resolution point clouds of the topography and
new TLS instruments with ranges exceeding 300 m or even 1000 m are powerful tools for …

This review examines interpretive issues relating to catastrophic, long-runout landslides in
the context of large numbers of recently discovered late Quaternary events. It links relevant …

Recent progress of dating techniques has greatly improved the age determination of various
types of landslides. Since the turn of the 21st century, the number of dated landslides …

Each year, natural disasters cause countless deaths and formidable damage to
infrastructure and the environment. In 2004–2005, more than 200 000 people lost their lives …

Landslides can occur in different environments and can interact with or fall into water
reservoirs or open sea with different characteristics. The subaerial evolution and the …

An unstable rock volume of more than 50 million m 3 has been detected in the Åkerneset
rock slope in the narrow fjord, Storfjorden, Møre & Romsdal County, Western Norway. If …

Generally landslide dams which exist for several hundreds to thousands of years are
considered as stable. We show with an example from the Argentine Andes that such dams …
