About the Book

This is the first book to bring together practical examples from around the world to show how geomorphological evidence can help in effective land utilisation and hazard risk assessment. Case studies provide important lessons in risk management, and experts provide summaries of current research. The text also promotes good practice and effective land use, and looks at problems caused by misuse of the environment and potential solutions based on geomorphological evidence.

Table of Contents:
Slopes and Landslides 1 - Stability Analysis of Prediction Models for Landslide Hazard Mapping (Chung et al). 2 - Geomorphology, stability analyses and stabilization works on the Montepiano Travertinous Cliff (Central Italy) (Alessandro et al). 3 - Photogrammetric techniques for the investigation of the Corniglio landslide (Gentili et al). 4 - Risk-prone lands in hilly regions. Mapping stages (Grecu). 5 - Rates and mechanisms of change of hard rock steep slopes on the Colorado plateau, USA (Kimber et al). 6 - Slope remodelling in areas exploited by skiers: case study of the northern Flysch slope of Pilkso Mountain, Polish Carpathian Mountains (Lajczak). 7 - Effects of runoff characteristics on the frequency of slope failures in Soya Hills, Northern Japan (Tanaka and Agata).
