Landslide Hazards, Risks, and Disasters (2nd Ed.)
Coordonnateurs : Davies Tim, Rosser Nick
Rédacteur en Chef : Shroder John F.
This new edition of Landslide Hazards, Risks and Disasters is updated and includes new chapters, covering additional topics including rockfalls, landslide interactions and impacts and geomorphic perspectives. Knowledge, understanding and the ability to model landslide processes are becoming increasingly important challenges for society extends its occupation of increasingly hilly and mountainous terrain, making this book a key resource for educators, researchers and disaster managers in geophysics, geology and environmental science.
