Rockslides and Rock Avalanches of Central Asia: Distribution, Impacts, and Hazard Assessment arms scientists with an inclusive and specialized reference for future studies of large-scale bedrock landslides in Central Asia, a phenomenon that poses a major threat to local communities, infrastructure and industrial facilities. The book covers the Dzungaria, Tien Shan, and Pamir mountain systems that are characterized by arid climates and scarce forestation, and is an ideal reference for scientists searching for data that accurately summarizes bedrock landslides through the analyses of a multitude of case studies that have applications in comparable, global scenarios. Through its relatively low precipitation and good preservation of minor geomorphic features, particularly those formed by past landslides, this region provides opportunities for detailed study of the internal structure of landslide bodies. Summarizes the present-day knowledge of bedrock landslide distribution in the Dzungaria, Tien Shan and Pamir mountains Describes case studies illustrating both general characteristics of large bedrock landslides and other specific features, allowing comparative analysis of numerous case studies Presents the classification of bedrock landslides and related models based on deposits, morphology and internal structures that can be applied to global locations

Landslides From Massive Rock Slope Failure written by Stephen G. Evans and has been published by Springer Science & Business Media this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007-05-17 with Science categories.
Amongst the thematic topics discussed are global frequency, impacts on society, analysis of initial rock slope failure, monitoring of rock slope movement, analysis and modeling of post-failure behaviour, volcanic landslides, and influences of massive rock slope failure on the geomorphological evolution of mountain regions. Regional contributions include reports on rockslides and rock avalanches in Norway, western Canada, the Andes of Argentina, the Karakoram Himalaya, the European Alps, the Appennines, and the mountains of Central Asia. Rockslides and rock avalanches in the Central Asian republics of the former Soviet Union are discussed in detail for the first time in an English-language book. These landslides include the 1911 Usoi rockslide, that dammed 75 km-long Lake Sarez, and the 1949 Khait rock avalanche that may have killed up to 28,000 people. Both landslides were earthquake-triggered and both are located in Tajikistan. An additional highlight is a detailed description and analysis of large-scale artificial rock avalanches triggered by underground nuclear explosions during the testing programme of the former Soviet Union.

This thesis examines relations between rock avalanches and the glaciers on which they are deposited. I have attempted to understand a geophysical phenomenon from two viewpoints: sedimentology and glaciology. The contributions are both methodological, and practical. I have used a GIS to quantify debris sheet geomorphology. A thorough characterization of rock avalanche debris is a necessary step in understanding the flow mechanics of large landslide. I have also developed a technique for solving radar interferometry phase unwrapping problems. A digital elevation model created using this technique is used to quantify the velocity of a glacier prior to its disturbance by landslides. Three debris sheets on Black Rapids Glacier, Alaska, have coarse blocky rims. Longitudinal flowbands in these debris sheets, as well as in a debris sheet deposited on Sherman Glacier, Alaska, separate bands of different block size. Elongated blocks are parallel to flow, except at the perimeter of the debris sheets, where they are aligned nearly perpendicular to flow. Blocks on Sherman Glacier have been reoriented by glacier flow since the landslide in 1964. The matrix of all four debris sheets does not systematically change with depth or distance from the source. However, Sherman Glacier debris has become coarser due to weathering. Black Rapids Glacier surged in 1936-1937. Between 1949 and 1995, the glacier gradually returned to a pre-surge hypsometry. Maximum elevation changes along the glacier centerline in the ablation and accumulation areas, are, respectively, -249 m (-5.4 m a-1) and +63 m (+1.4 m a-1). Centerline thickening of +62 m (+1.4 m a-1), just above the Loket tributary in the upper part of the ablation zone, indicates dynamic thickening following the surge. The response of Black Rapids Glacier to the rock avalanches is spatially and temporally complex. Increases in measured and modelled surface velocity across the debris sheets are much greater than velocities observed higher on the glacier. The velocity recorded at the downglacier margin of the debris doubled between 2002 and 2004, resulting in a reversed velocity gradient. The changes in ice dynamics are related to the landslides through the effect of debris insulation on mass balance.
