Analysis of landslide volume, structures, and kinematics from satellite imagery of the 2016 Lamplugh rock avalanche, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska, An
During the past five years occurrences of large rock avalanches over glaciated terrain in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve (GBNP), Alaska have drawn attention to the complex, highly variable, yet poorly understood dynamics of these events. The objective of this research is to study the …

The integration of petrologic and isotopic data from the Boulder Conglomerate to determine the age of the Navan orebody, Ireland
… comprises erosive-based, highly immature rock avalanches which are interbedded with hemipelagic limestone. Sulphide mineralisation in the autochthon, the Pale Beds Ore, is truncated by the fault-generated unconformity and is reworked as clasts and matrix into the basal Boulder …

GEOMORPHOLOGICAL MAPPING OF THE K2 AREA, PAKISTAN USING GIS AND REMOTE SENSING
… deposits, active landslide areas, sackungen, and rock avalanches. The Skardu Basin has tills preserved on many higher slopes, and sand dunes cover wide areas of fluvial sediments from a braided river system. Extensive alluvial and debris fans make up the Shigar Valley, and a sackung follows an …

Understanding the nuances of the rockfall frequency-magnitude relationship: review and examples from two original case studies in Glenwood Canyon, CO, USA
The rockfall frequency-magnitude relationship is important for understanding rockfalls as a geomorphic agent and as a key mass-wasting hazard. The relationship is frequently modeled with a power law fit to frequency vs. volume, and the power law provides a basis for extrapolating recurrence …

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 …
