The microstructure and mineralogy of volcanic rocks is varied and complex, and their
mechanical behaviour is similarly varied and complex. This review summarises recent …

The Andean volcanic arc includes over 200 potentially active Quaternary volcanoes, and at
least 12 giant caldera/ignimbrite systems, occurring in four separate segments referred to as …

Sector collapses affect volcanic edifices across all tectonic settings and involve a rapid
redistribution of mass, comparable in scale to the largest magmatic eruptions. The eruptive …

The 2000 Yigong landslide was one of the most catastrophic landslides worldwide, resulting
in huge casualties and property losses. The dynamic process of the Yigong landslide was …

Geological evidence suggests that during a future eruption, Cumbre Vieja Volcano on the
Island of La Palma may experience a catastrophic failure of its west flank, dropping 150 to …

By considering the implications of the comminution generally associated with very large
landslides, we arrive at a simple explanation for the remarkably low frictional resistance to …

The 7.5 ka Socompa sector collapse emplaced 25 km3 of fragmented rock as a thin, but
widespread (500 km2), avalanche deposit, followed by late stage sliding of 11 km3 as …

Prominent longitudinal features are often reported on the surfaces of mass movement
deposits. However, the genesis and implications of these have not hitherto been considered …

Flank instability and collapse are observed at many volcanoes. Among these, Mt. Etna is
characterized by the spreading of its eastern and southern flanks. The eastern spreading …

Rock avalanches are a form of hazardous long-runout landslide and leave fragmented
deposits of complex sedimentology that, if studied in detail, can provide insight into their …
