  5. The Nepal and Tibet flood is a warning: melting snow and ice will bring more disasters around the world | Bill McGuire
    By Bill McGuire

    In Alaska, the Himalayas, the Andes, Greenland, and perhaps also the Alps, deadly chain reactions are just waiting to be triggered

  6. Roads cutting through mountain ranges and waterfalls
    Do they cause landslides and reactivate old ones?

    Temporary fix for Waterfall Way at Gordonville slip site
    "Waterfall Way has reopened between Bellingen and Dorrigo after temporary repairs to the Gordonville slip site. The temporary fix consists of a gravel filled shipping container wall, two containers high and eight containers long, attached to the rockface using nine high-strength steel anchors drilled deep into the rockface." >>

    Do roads mean landslides are more likely? >>

    Could road constructions be more hazardous than an earthquake in terms of mass movement?

    "In this study, we report a distinct correlation of mass movements and major road constructions that explicitly shows human impact on mountainous environments which are under anthropogenic disturbance recently. Our results further suggest that slope instabilities increased drastically after major service road constructions for hydroelectric power plants and as well as other road extension works."

    "We also stress that the impact of road construction can disturb the natural slope equilibrium to an extent comparable with moderate (larger than 6 Mw) earthquakes."

    "Such an observation implies that human activities can have a large, if not even dominant, impact on landscape evolution and the natural regime of surface processes. This is part of the definition of “Anthropocene,” an age where our society shapes nature for our purposes, frequently at the risk of damaging ourselves."

  7. The mountain is falling off on Waterfall! Way due to traffic overloading

    "The road is a key tourism and agricultural route between north-west NSW and the coast, vital for the transport of livestock, dairy and produce over the Great Dividing Range...We've had 150 tonnes coming down over the initial 50 tonnes of material that fell."

    Landslide susceptibility near highways is increased by 1 order of magnitude in the Andes of southern Ecuador, Loja province
    "Mountain roads in developing countries are known to increase landslide occurrence due to often inadequate drainage systems and mechanical destabilization of hillslopes by undercutting and overloading." >>

  8. "The Palos Verdes debris avalanche is the largest, by volume, late Quaternary mass-wasted deposit recognized from the inner California Borderland basins. Early workers speculated that the sediment failure giving rise to the deposit is young, taking place well after sea level reached its present position."
