catastrophic landslides

Engineers use their knowledge of science, mathematics, logic, economics, and appropriate experience or tacit knowledge to find suitable solutions to a problem. Creating an appropriate mathematical model of a problem allows them to analyze it (sometimes definitively), and to test potential solutions. | Reviews in Engineering Geology Volume XV 1 THE fcgs 4 . -r . p - JF GEOLOGICAL lg - SOCIETY OF AMERICA -- t Z-- Catastrophic Landslides Effects Recurrence and Mechanisms k jfeY Edited by Stephen G.

DeGraff This volume documents further advances KI our knowledge of catastrophic landslides since the pioneering compilations of the late 197ƠS by Barry Voight It provides a worldwide survey of catastrophic landslide events written try leading authocrties. Catastrophic Landslides begins by drawing upon South America to dramatically illustrate the impact of these phenomena on human populating The occurrence of catastrophic landslides including site-specific insights IS shown through six events of the past 20 years Several other chapters focus on the mechanisms involved with catastrophic landsidcs both in relation to geologic factors in a particular geographic area as well as to specific geologic processes.
