Past and recent examples of catastrophic landslides at e.g. Saint-Jean-Vianney in 1971, Rissa in 1979, Finneidfjord in 1996 and Kattmarka in 2009 have illustrated the great mobility of the remolded sensitive clays and their hazardous retrogressive potential. These events call for a better understanding of landslide in sensitive clay terrain to assist authorities with state-of-the-art hazard assessment methods, risk management schemes, mitigation measures and planning. During the last decades the elevated awareness regarding slope movement in sensitive clays has led to major advances in mapping techniques and development of highly sophisticated geotechnical and geophysical investigation tools. Great advances in numerical techniques dealing with progressive failure and landslide kinematic have also lead to increase understanding and predictability of landslides in sensitive clays and their consequences. This volume consists of the latest scientific research by international experts dealing with geological, geotechnical and geophysical aspects of slope failure in sensitive clays and focuses on understanding the full spectrum of challenges presented by landslides in such brittle materials. 410 0$aAdvances in Natural and Technological Hazards Research,$x1878-9897 ;$v36 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aEnvironmental sciences 606 $aGeotechnical engineering 606 $aGeology 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aEnvironmental Science and Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37000 606 $aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37010 606 $aGeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17002 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences. 615 0$aGeotechnical engineering. 615 0$aGeology. 615 14$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aEnvironmental Science and Engineering. 615 24$aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences. 615 24$aGeology. 676 $a551.307 676 $a624.1/51 702 $aL'Heureux$b Jean-Sébastien$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLocat$b Ariane$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLeroueil$b Serge$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDemers$b Denis$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aLocat$b Jacques$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298389503321 996 $aLandslides in Sensitive Clays$92504672 997 $aUNINA
