New publication in landslides (Springer), the Journal of the International Consortium on Landslides
Dear colleagues, I’d like to share with you a recent publication showing the different stages of a progressive failure in Western Norway. The publication includes a noteworthy discussion on the growing rates of displacements, climatic controls, remote sensing analysis, risk management, progressive damage and final failure. The publication was led by colleagues at NVE (Lene Kristensen , Lars Blikra ), in collaboration with NGU, UniOslo + CREALP, and is available in open access at the moment:
