Mass-transport deposits on Mediterranean continental margins
Extensive mass transport deposits and multiple slide scars testify widespread and recurrent submarine sediment failures occurring during the late Quaternary on the SW-Adriatic and SE-Sicilian margins. These mass movements and their consequences contributed to shape the continental slopes and fill …

Combined finite-discrete element modelling of key instabilities which characterise deep-seated landslides from massive rock slope failure
The expression “landslide from massive rock slope failure” (MRSF) is used to indicate large-scale landslides characterised by a variety of complex initial failure processes and unpredictable postfailure behaviour. In this context, deep-seated landslides are classified as “landslides from massive …
