We summarize the key developments in the understanding of hillslopes and mass movements between the mid-1960s and c. 2000, regardless of apparent (sub-)disciplinary origin and with less emphasis on somewhat arbitrary (sub-)disciplinary divides.
12 wrz 2023 · Mass movements (ice and/or rock avalanches) are major hazards in the Himalaya that can cause widespread damage to infrastructure and lead to loss of life. The results presented can be a base data for policymakers, stakeholders, and local governments. Various strategies and countermeasures can enhance preparedness and mitigate risks.
23 sie 2021 · This research paper aims to model Mass Movements Susceptibility (MMS) in the province of Tétouan. First, we identified the characteristics and spatial mapping of the different types of MM (collapse, mudflows, and complex landslides) by means of the interpretation of satellite images and from fieldwork.
13 mar 2024 · Mass movement is erosion, transportation, and deposition of earth and rock materials primarily as the result of gravity only, but may include various admixtures of water, ice, and water vapor in the natural initial state.
1 sty 2016 · Mass movements are important natural geomorphic agents that shape mountain landforms and redistribute sediment and debris to gentler terrain and water bodies. The earth mass may move in a number of ways: falling, toppling, sliding, spreading, flowing, or by their combinations.
1 lip 1993 · In the present case, for example, a de- gree of uncertainty about advanced soil mechanics, groundwater hydrology and geo- physics is acknowledged. In consequence, the treatment of soil properties and slope stability analysis is limited.
1 sty 2015 · Mass movement, one of the major processes in the Critical Zone of Earth, represents complex hydrologic, atmospheric, cryogenic, soil-geomorphic, and biogeochemical feedbacks in response to climatic, tectonic, and anthropogenic forcing at a range of spatial and temporal scales.
