Landslide Hazards, Risks, and Disasters, Second Edition, delves into a comprehensive yet intricate exploration of the multifaceted aspects of mass movements and their far-reaching consequences. By offering invaluable insights, this text serves as a foundation for enhancing the monitoring, prediction, preparedness, and mitigation of the impacts of landslides on society. Over the past century, the frequency and intensity of landslide hazards and disasters have consistently escalated, a trend that is projected to persist as societies increasingly harness steep landscapes. Landslides and related phenomena, such as rockfalls, landslide interactions, and geomorphic perspectives, are intricately linked to other hazard and disaster processes, including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and wildfires. This intricate nature of landslides poses a complex multi-disciplinary challenge, necessitating a comprehensive understanding and effective management.
To address these challenges, this new edition of Landslide Hazards, Risks, and Disasters has been thoroughly updated and expanded. It includes several new chapters that cover additional topics, such as rockfalls, landslide interactions, and impacts, providing a comprehensive overview of the field. The importance of knowledge, understanding, and the ability to model landslide processes is growing exponentially as society expands its occupation of increasingly hilly and mountainous terrain. This book serves as a vital resource for educators, researchers, and disaster managers in geophysics, geology, and environmental science, equipping them with the necessary tools to navigate the complexities of landslide hazards and mitigate their impacts.
