In the most destructive and catastrophic landslide events, rocks, soil and fluids can travel at
speeds approaching several tens of metres per second. However, many landslides …

Geological structures such as folds, faults, and discontinuities play a critical role in the
stability and behaviour of both natural and engineered rock slopes. Although engineering …

In the context of in-situ geophysical methods the Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) is
widely used for the near-surface exploration of landslide areas characterized by a complex …

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 …

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 …

Rockslides in alpine areas can reach large volumes and, owing to their position along
slopes, can either undergo large and rapid evolution originating large rock avalanches or …

Rockslides have a high socioeconomic and environmental importance in many countries.
Norway is particularly susceptible to large rockslides due to its many fjords and steep …

One of the factors causing the acceleration of landslides is the loss of strength of the soil
involved in the potential unstable mechanism. The travelled distance and the landslide …

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 …

This paper provides newly found and profound insight into the initiation mechanism of the
first Baige landslide occurred on the upper reaches of the Jinsha River in October 10, 2018 …
