Abstract: This paper described the recent catastrophic landslides in Sierra Leone, DR Congo, and Nigeria and their probable mechanisms. The landslides occurred at the peak of rainy season on steep mountains predisposed to failure by geologic,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.dendro.2018.12.002
Abstract: Abstract We investigated three slopes (in southern Poland, the Carpathian Mts, and the Sudeten Mts) subject to catastrophic, sudden landslides. To reconstruct past landslide activity, we analysed the eccentricity of tree rings in the stems… read more here.
