Landslide hazards, risks and disasters / Оползневая опасность, риски и катастрофы

Consideration of the nature and occurrence of landslide hazards leads to perspectives on the dominant role of landsliding in the geomorphology of active orogens, and consequently the major role that landsliding plays in determining hazard- and riskscapes both within and downstream of these areas. Discussion of landslide risks suggests that probabilistic analyses are only likely to be reliable in planning location-specific landslide risk management strategies for small, frequent events, and the potential for identifying sites of future landslidesdboth rainfall generated and coseismicdis examined. Finally the role of landslides in triggering consequential hazards, such as tsunami, river flooding, and debris flows, is emphasized. <...>
