Impacts of post glacial rebound on landsliding at a regional scale in Northern Iceland (Skagafjörður): spatial distribution and mechanisms involved
International audience Paraglaciation has often been considered as a main predisposing factor in landslide occurrence; its consequences have been particularly well identified at a fine scale (especially on bedrock jointing). However, the impacts of paraglaciation on hillslope dynamics at a regional...
