Landslide & Slope Instability Geohazards: Distribution

The distribution of (a) ancient and (b) youthful landslides in Great Britain recorded as a result of the survey of landslides in Great Britain commissioned by the former Department of the Environment (DoE), and completed by Geomorphological Services Ltd (GSL) between 1984 and 1987. After Jones and Lee (1994).

Indicative periods of major landslide activity in Europe derived from EPOCH data (c = radiocarbon (C14) dates; D = important individual dates from the historical record). After Brunsden and Ibsen (1997).
