Landslide Hazards, Risks, and Disasters
Edited by Tim Davies
Landslides are one of the most costly and disruptive geo-hazards in the world, and they are often the cause or the result of other hazards and disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, wildfires, and volcanic eruptions. Landslide Hazards, Risks, and Disasters examines some currently active research topics in mass movement hazards and provides information for realistic monitoring, prediction, risk management, and preparedness. It takes a geoscientific approach to the topic, the objective of which is to inform strategies for reducing the impacts of future disasters by increasing societal resilience to them, and also discusses the impacts of landslides on society.
