Landslide Hazards, Risks, and Disasters

Landslide Hazards, Risks, and Disasters, 2nd Edition, is an interdisciplinary book that examines mass movements and their consequences for society. The volume provides knowledge to support landslide monitoring, prediction, preparedness, and impact reduction.

The text addresses the geological, seismological, physical, environmental, and social impacts of mass movements. It details how landslides can be triggered by earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and wildfires, while also examining how slope failures can trigger other hazards and disasters.

Designed as a resource for educators, researchers, and disaster managers in geology, geophysics, and environmental science, the book supports hazard analysts, planners, and risk managers. Visual features include tables, maps, diagrams, illustrations, photographs, and video captures of hazardous processes.
