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 application of vegetation to increase the slope stability against erosion and landslide is a form of bioengineering that is widely used in areas where the landslide depth is shallow. Vegetation increases the stability of the slope mechanically, by reinforcing the soils through plant roots, which stabilize the upper part of the soil.
The topics covered by the journal range from landslide identification and monitoring, remote sensing, laboratory and field testing, to risk assessment and mitigation. It was established in 2004 as the official journal of the International Consortium on Landslides and is published by Springer Science+Business Media.
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 ...
Recent landslides into Lake Tiktalik in the Western Arctic have created large thaw slumps—measuring several hundred feet in both width and depth—indicating the rapid degradation of permafrost. According to New York Times , these thaw slumps "are the most dramatic evidence of a phenomenon that could turn the local Inuvialuit into Canada’s ...
