Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the classification of landslides of the flow type
TL;DR: In this paper, a new division of landslide materials is proposed, based on genetic and morphological aspects rather than arbitrary grain-size limits, which would allow the terms to be retained with their original meanings while making their application less ambiguous.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of catastrophic drainage of moraine-dammed lakes in British Columbia
TL;DR: In the high mountains of British Columbia, moraine-dammed lakes are prone to failure because they are steep-sided, have relatively low width-to-height ratios, comprise loose, poorly sorted sediment, and may contain ice cores or interstitial ice as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Entrainment of debris in rock avalanches: An analysis of a long run-out mechanism
Oldrich Hungr,Stephen G. Evans +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe two recent cases from British Columbia, Canada, where rockslides entrained substrate on a very large scale, influencing the character of the events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Earthquake-Induced Chains of Geologic Hazards: Patterns, Mechanisms, and Impacts
Xuanmei Fan,Gianvito Scaringi,Gianvito Scaringi,Oliver Korup,A. Joshua West,Cees J. van Westen,Hakan Tanyas,Niels Hovius,Tristram Hales,Randall W. Jibson,Kate E. Allstadt,Li Min Zhang,Stephen G. Evans,Chong Xu,Gen Li,Xiangjun Pei,Qiang Xu,Runqiu Huang +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze how earthquakes trigger landslides and highlight research gaps, and suggest pathways toward a more complete understanding of the seismic effects on the Earth's surface, highlighting research gaps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent climatic change and catastrophic geomorphic processes in mountain environments
Stephen G. Evans,John J. Clague +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the perturbation of natural processes operating in mountain environments, caused by recent climatic warming, ranges from tens of decades for moraine-dam failures to hundreds of years or more for landslides.
