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. <...>

In civil engineering, tunnel construction has always been based on observations far more than any other construction. Reason for this phenomenon can be seen in the fact, that there is no other condition as decisive as the changing ground conditions in underground construction. Observational methods by their nature are subject of experience, especially when using predominantly manual methods for construction. Experience can be explained as kind of data base of an individual.

For decades, the base of the Hettangian (the Triassic-Jurassic system boundary) in the terrestrial succession of the Newark Supergroup of eastern North America has been placed incorrectly at a stratigraphic level that coincides with a modest palynological turnover immediately beneath the lowest basalt flow of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP), e.g. the Orange Mt. Basalt in the Newark basin or the North Mountain Basalt in the Fundy basin (see review in Whiteside, et al., 2007). According to numerous studies (reviewed in Whiteside, et al., 2007),

After every major earthquake, the Earth rings like a large bell for several days. These free oscillations of the Earth are routinely detected at modern broad-band seismographic stations, which are now distributed globally. The eigenfrequencies and decay rates of the vibrations can be measured and used to constrain the radial and lateral distribution of density, seismic wave speed and anelastic attenuation within the interior.
