Landslides triggered by the storm of November 3-5, 1985, Wills Mountain Anticline, West Virginia and Virginia Landslides triggered by the storm of November 3-5, 1985, Wills Mountain Anticline, West Virginia and Virginia
More than 3,000 landslides were triggered by heavy rainfall in the central Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia and Virginia, November 3-5, 1985. These landslides provided the opportunity to study spatial controls on landslides, magnitude and frequency of triggering events, and the effects of landslides on flood-induced geomorphic change. The study area consists of parts of the Wills...

Rainfall-threshold conditions for landslides in a humid-tropical system Rainfall-threshold conditions for landslides in a humid-tropical system
Landslides are triggered by factors such as heavy rainfall, seismic activity, and construction on hillslopes. The leading cause of landslides in Puerto Rico is intense and/or prolonged rainfall. A rainfall threshold for rainfall-triggered landsliding is delimited by 256 storms that occurred between 1959 and 1991 in the central mountains of Puerto Rico, where mean annual rainfall is close...

Landslides caused by the Klamath Falls, Oregon, earthquakes of September 20, 1993 Landslides caused by the Klamath Falls, Oregon, earthquakes of September 20, 1993
The Klamath Falls earthquakes caused landslides throughout an area of about 420 sq km and as far as about 29 km from the epicenter, a distribution that is typical for magnitude 6 earthquakes (see graphs on following pages). Most of the landslides were rock falls or shallow, highly disrupted rock slides from roadcuts, quarries, and steep bluff faces. Such landslides are also among the...

The Golden bypass landslide, Golden, Colorado The Golden bypass landslide, Golden, Colorado
Slope instability along a new highway bypass in Golden, Colorado, became a major concern in 1993. Rains and snowmelt accelerated movement of a landslide that had begun to develop before the bypass was opened to traffic in July of 1991. The downslope movement of earth materials increased significantly in 1993. During the first few months of the year, the landslide pushed onto the west...
