About this ebook
Landslide Causes explores the multifaceted reasons behind landslides, examining the geological events that reshape landscapes and the strategies for prediction and prevention. These earth science events pose significant global risks, and the book delves into the interplay of geological, climatological, and human-induced factors. For example, while heavy rainfall is a well-known trigger, deforestation significantly exacerbates slope instability, increasing landslide frequency. The book uniquely integrates these factors into a holistic risk management framework, challenging traditional, isolated approaches.
Beginning with slope stability fundamentals, Landslide Causes progresses to investigate specific triggers like earthquakes and human activities through dedicated chapters. It then analyzes prediction and prevention methods, culminating in a discussion of integrated risk management and future research directions. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding valuable to students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in earth sciences, environmental science, and engineering.
