A landslide in which the sliding surface is located within the soil mantle or weathered bedrock (typically to a depth from few decimeters to some meters) is called a shallow landslide. Debris slides and debris flows are usually shallow. Shallow landslides can often happen in areas that have slopes with high permeable soils on top of low ...
The International Consortium on Landslides is a non-governmental organization created in 2002 to promote landslide research, education, and risk evaluation and reduction. It is located in Kyoto, Japan. The organization has consultative status with UNESCO. [1] [2] The ICL's journal is Landslides. It holds regular symposiums, including the World ...

Landslides is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on all aspects of landslides. The topics covered by the journal range from landslide identification and monitoring, remote sensing , laboratory and field testing, to risk assessment and mitigation.
Occasionally, even after detailed investigations, no trigger can be determined – this was the case in the large Aoraki / Mount Cook landslide in New Zealand 1991. It is unclear as to whether the lack of a trigger in such cases is the result of some unknown process acting within the landslide, or whether there was in fact a trigger, but it ...
A landslide, also called a landslip, [10] is a relatively rapid movement of a large mass of earth and rocks down a hill or a mountainside. Landslides can be further classified by the importance of water in the mass wasting process. In a narrow sense, landslides are rapid movement of large amounts of relatively dry debris down moderate to steep ...
A large landslide entered Sullorsuaq Strait, generating a megatsunami which struck Alluttoq Island, where it had a run-up height of 45 to 70 metres (148 to 230 ft).
