Landslides And Avalanches. Norway 2005

This book contains analyses, experimental investigations, and stability evaluation of landslides in soil. Case records with detailed surveys illustrate the topographic conditions and the movements that take place. Numerous case records from rockslides give new information about the extent of such slides and the geological conditions where such slides occur. The sliding mechanism is described and modeled in order to explain the dynamics of slides. Climatic conditions have a large effect on the triggering of such slides. Several papers deal with monitoring of snow and slush avalanches. Additional studies include models and experiments that contribute to an understanding of what happens in the field.
