Landslides have geological causes but can be triggered by natural
processes (rainfall, snowmelt, erosion and earthquakes) or by human
actions such as agriculture and construction. Research aimed at
better understanding slope stability and failure has accelerated in
recent years, accompanied by basic field research and numerical
modeling of slope failure processes, mechanisms of debris movement,
and landslide causes and triggers. Written by seventy-five
world-leading researchers and practitioners, this book provides a
state-of-the-art summary of landslide science. It features both
field geology and engineering approaches, as well as modeling of
slope failure and run-out using a variety of numerical codes. It is
illustrated with international case studies integrating geological,
geotechnical and remote sensing studies, and includes recent slope
investigations in North America, Europe and Asia. This is an
essential reference for researchers and graduate students in
geomorphology, engineering geology, geotechnical engineering and
geophysics, as well as professionals in natural hazard analysis.
