TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a history of over one hundred years of road building in the Himalayas and an expanding road network that faces serious challenges to its sustainability, with earthquakes, landslides, floods, erosion and sediment posing significant hazards.

TL;DR: Recommendations are provided for a step-by-step approach to landslide susceptibility mapping that emphasise the need to become fully-familiar with the terrain in the area of interest and the controls on slope stability, and liaise with the intended map end-user over issues concerning scale, reliability, uncertainty and application constraints.

TL;DR: The Sakhalin II Phase 2 oil and gas pipeline corridor is 782 km in length, and extends from landfall sites in the north of the island to a liquefied natural gas plant and oil export terminal in the south as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of trial sections of road constructed using cinder gravel is assessed and combined with the results of laboratory testing to develop a guideline for wider use of the material in roadworks, either directly or through processes of blending, alternative compaction methods and cement stabilisation to yield a product that can be considered "fit for purpose" for a range of uses in low-volume road construction.

TL;DR: In this paper, a geomorphological study was undertaken in 2017 and early 2018 that combined field observations with aerial photograph interpretation, and a review of available ground investigation data, to yield an explanation and develop a preliminary ground model.
