Abstract In 1911, a 2-km3 (0.5-mi3) earthquake-triggered rock slide blocked the Murgab
River, southeastern Tajikistan, forming a still-existing, 600-m-high (1,970-ft-high) natural …

Mass movements affect the following elements of the environment:(1) the topography of the
earth's surface, particularly the morphologies of mountain and valley systems, both on the …

The Seymareh rock avalanche, first described by JV Harrison and NL Falcon in the 1930s, is
the largest known subaerial non-volcanic landslide on Earth. The volume of its debris (44 …

Rock avalanches represent the specific type of flow-like landslides—dry granular flows—that
pose major threat to population in mountainous regions and in the adjacent plains. Being …

Landslides impact the Earth's natural environment, including effects on (1) the morphology
of the Earth's subaerial and submarine surfaces;(2) forests and grasslands, and (3) habitats …

Seimareh Landslide (SL) is globally recognized as one of the largest rock mass movements
in the world. It is located along the border of Ilam and Lorestan provinces in southwest Iran …

Understanding the kinematics of landslides helps us to better constrain failure mechanisms
and it is useful to define hazard and consequent risk scenarios for mitigation strategies …
