About Landslides
Landslides are ubiquitous but largely underestimated hazards, primarily because they are often secondary in character and resulting death and damage is allocated to the primary event. In most cases this is either an earthquake, wherein landslides are generated due to strong ground motion, or severe precipitation, which results in mudslides. Landslide interest at the BHRC is focused mainly on ocean island volcano collapse and resulting tsunami and on developing an improved understanding of large volume, long-runout landslides known as Sturzstroms.For further information on landslides contact Dr. Christopher Kilburn at: c.kilburn@ucl.ac.uk
