Recent progress in landslide dating
Recent progress of dating techniques has greatly improved the age determination of various types of landslides. Since the turn of the 21st century, the number of dated landslides throughout the world has increased several fold and the introduction of modern dating methods (e.g. cosmic ray exposure d...

Recent progress of dating techniques has greatly improved the age determination of various types of landslides. Since the turn of the 21st century, the number of dated landslides throughout the world has increased several fold and the introduction of modern dating methods (e.g. cosmic ray exposure dating) has enabled the dating of new landslide features and elements. Based on the analysis of >950 dated landslides (of which 734 have been dated since the year 2000), it is clear that the predominant traditional strategies have continued to rely on the radiocarbon method; however, there is a remarkable trend of using cosmic ray exposure techniques for dating both the accumulation (e.g. landslide boulders) and the depletion (e.g. landslide scarps) parts of landslides. Furthermore, an increasing number of slope failures is determined by a multi-dating approach, which enables the verification of particular dating methods. Although coherent regional landslide chronologies are still relatively scarce in comparison with extensive databases of fluvial, glacial and/or eolian landforms, they offer important insights into temporal landslide distribution, long-term landslide behavior and their relationships with paleoenvironmental changes. The most extensive data sets exist for the mountain areas of North America (Pacific Coast Ranges), South America (Andes), Europe (Alps, Scottish Highlands, Norway, Carpathians and Apennines), the Himalaya-Tibet orogeny and the Southern Alps of New Zealand.
