Journal ArticleDOI
Can magma-injection and groundwater forces cause massive landslides on Hawaiian volcanoes?
TL;DR: In this article, limit-equilibrium analyses of wedge-shaped slices of the volcano flanks show that magma injection at prospective headscarps might trigger the landslides, but only under very restrictive conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of mountain geomorphology
Dietrich Barsch,Nel Caine +1 more
TL;DR: A century of study suggests many common characteristics in the geomorphic nature of high mountain areas as mentioned in this paper, including important structural influences in the landscape, usually on a variety of spatial scales, and contrasting climatic conditions (often confounded with vegetation distributions) which also exhibit a wide spatial variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geological and geomorphological precursors of the Chiu-fen-erh-shan landslide triggered by the Chi-chi earthquake in central Taiwan
TL;DR: In this article, the authors correlated the geological causes of the Chiu-fen-erh-shan landslide, a gigantic rockslide on a dip slope, induced by the Chi-chi earthquake (ML=7.3) in central Taiwan in 1999.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced mobility of granular mixtures of fine and coarse particles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present laboratory measurements of flows of binary mixtures of fine and coarse granular materials that show that their interaction can result in significantly increased mobility (the ratio of the run out distance for the center of mass to the initial height of the centre of mass).
Journal ArticleDOI
Landscape and Environment: Insights from the Prehispanic Central Andes
TL;DR: The central Andes has been the site of both seminal investigations in archaeology and a substantial body of recent work that investigates themes of broad archaeological relevance as mentioned in this paper, which highlights the importance of understanding environments as dynamic, considering both geomorphic and anthropogenic contributors to that dynamism.
