| Session Description | The initiation and movement mechanism of large landslides is very complex. Large landslides usually involve deep regolith, weathered rock, and/or bedrock and include large slope failure associated with translational, rotational, or complex movement. This type of landslide potentially occurs in a tectonic active region and moves slowly, only several meters per year, but occasionally moves faster. We welcome contributions from different disciplines: (1) Initiation, movement, and deposition characteristics and related mechanisms of large landslides. (2) Field investigation and laboratory testing of large landslides. (3) Advances in geo-hazard analysis, risk assessment and mapping. (4) Evaluation and control of large landslide: mitigation, prevention and protection strategies. (5) Numerical simulation of large landslides. (6) The disaster-chain effects of large landslides. |
