| Abstract: | Landslide losses in all parts of the world are likely to continue increasing, as growing population, combined with the need to protect natural and agricultural areas, presses human developments ever closer to unstable slopes. The only way to reduce such losses is to develop better understanding of landslide processes and more reliable techniques of predicting their potential effects and designing remedial or protective measures.
