Catastrophic Landslides: Effects, Occurrence, and MechanismsStephen G. Evans, Jerome V. DeGraff Geological Society of America, 2002 M01 1 - 411 páginas This volume documents advances in our knowledge of catastrophic landslides, providing a worldwide survey of catastrophic landslide events. It draws on South America to illustrate dramatically the impact of these phenomena on human populations. The occurrence of catastrophic landslides, including site-specific insights, is shown through six events of the past 20 years. Several other chapters focus on the mechanisms involved with catastrophic landsides both in relation to geologic factors in a particular geographic area as well as to specific geologic processes. |
