Triggering and Propagation of Rapid Flow-like Landslides – The Proceedings of the Second JTC-1 Workshop

Back in December JTC-1 organised a workshop, held in Hong Kong, on the Triggering and Propagation of Rapid Flow-like Landslides.  This was a fascinating event, with a host of excellent presentations and some very interesting discussion.  It included a benchmarking exercise that examined the state-of-the-art capability to model rapid and long run out flows.

The organisers of the conference have now placed the proceedings of the meeting, including the extended (four page) abstracts, online as a free resource.  These are bundled into one PDF (warning – it is 65 MB), which represents a really useful resource.
