“…There are also issues related to the presence, near the cliff top, of urban areas and also the conservation of archaeological and historical heritage (e.g. Bromhead and Ibsen, 2006;Carrasco et al, 2007). In spite of the obvious economic and social relevance of the problem, sea cliff and rock coasts have received comparatively low research attention in comparison with fast evolution sandy shorelines (Naylor et al, 2010).…”

Abstract. Sea cliff evolution is dominated by the occurrence of slope mass movements of different types and sizes, which are a considerable source of natural hazard, making their assessment a relevant issue in terms of human loss prevention and land use regulations. To address the assessment of the spatial component of sea cliff hazards, i.e. the susceptibility, a statistically based study was made to assess the capacity of a set of conditioning factors to express the occurrence of sea cliff failures affecting areas located along their top.The study was based on the application of the bivariate information value and multivariate logistic regression statistical methods, using a set of predisposing factors for cliff failures, mainly related to geology (lithology, bedding dip, faults) and geomorphology (maximum and mean slope, height, aspect, plan curvature, toe protection), which were correlated with a photogrammetry-based inventory of cliff failures that occurred in a 60 yr period . The susceptibility models were validated against the inventory data using standard success rate and ROC curves, and provided encouraging results, indicating that the proposed approaches are effective for susceptibility assessment. The results obtained also stress the need for improvement of the predisposing factors to be used in this type of study and the need for detailed and systematic cliff failure inventories.

“…Of course, if an earthquake struck after rainfall, such as the 2004 Mid-Niigata Prefecture earthquake in Japan, many big landslides were triggered, as reported by Sassa (2005) and Sassa et al (2005). "Coastal erosion and river erosion" are major causes of landslides, shown in studies such as Bromhead and Ibsen (2006) and Strom (2004), and "long-term weathering" is a cause of landslides posing risk to long-standing cultural heritage sites, such as those discussed by Vlcko (2004) and Guo et al (2009). "Human activities" also include landslides caused by dam construction and the impoundment of dam reservoirs, such as the Three Gorges Dam discussed by Wang et al (2008).…”

The international journal Landslides was initiated in April 2004. It is the core project (IPL-C100) of the International Programme on Landslides, a joint initiative of the International Consortium on Landslides and the United Nations and other global organizations. The aims of Landslides are to promote landslide sciences, technology, and capacity building and strengthen global cooperation for landslide risk reduction within the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction. This paper presents an analysis of the first 5 years of Landslides, the study methods employed, the types and major causes of landslides, the number of different contributors per country, and the "times cited" per issue and most frequently cited papers and briefly discusses some of these. Strategies for future development of the journal involve obtaining input and suggestion from researchers and readers worldwide.

“…Therefore, even where relatively good records exist, as in certain parts of the UK, it is often very difficult to separate an historical climate signal from an anthropogenic signal in the temporal and spatial patterns of landslide occurrences (see e.g. Wasowski 1998;Bromhead and Ibsen, 2006;and Ibsen and Brunsden 1996).…”

Ongoing climate change is now 'reasonably foreseeable' (see e.g. Firth and Colley 2006) and any uncertainty associated with the forecasts can no longer be used as an excuse to ignore the problem (e.g. Grossman 2003;Perroy 2006; Metcalf et al. 2009; Willows and Connell 2003). Failure to take account of the potential adverse effects of climate change on the stability of landscapes will carry additional financial risk (ABI 2009, Stern 2007, for example when inappropriate design, operation and maintenance strategies in undulating landscapes and earthworks continue to be applied (Dijkstra and Dixon 2007). Adaptation to forecasted changes in climate conditions is now key and this requires upgrading the knowledge base and slope instability modelling capability (Derbyshire et al. 2001; Dixon et al. , 2008 Glendinning et al. 2008)).This realisation has led to increasing pressures to take action and gain the necessary knowledge that would enable a more effective adaptation to the potentially adverse consequences of climate change, impacting natural and constructed (engineered) slopes and affecting both first-time and reactivated failures. This has been supported by targeted funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) in the UK for research into the implications of climate change (Building Dijkstra, T.A. & Dixon, N. (2010). Climate change and slope stability: Challenges and approaches. Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 43, 4, 371-385. This paper briefly introduces the impacts of slope instability and the context of climate change forecasting. This is followed by a discussion of the current status of the forecasting capability with respect to responses of slope stability to climate change drivers. This discussion is an attempt to capture the outcomes of the workshops and symposium organised as part of the CLIFFS network, It is hoped that the issues raised will serve as an opportunity to engage in further discussions and research efforts that ultimately should lead to better slope instability process models and a more successful integration of these models with climate change forecasts (in particular UKCP09). Impact of unstable slopes in the UKThe stability of engineered slope...
