HILLSLOPE GEOMORPHOLOGY AND GEOTECHNIQUE

This review focuses on recent Canadian contributions to hillslope geomorphology, and emphasizes geotechnical studies of mass movement phenomena in the Canadian Cordillera, including debris flows, rock avalanches, talus slopes, rock creep, and slow earthflows. A brief discussion is included of quick-...
