“…These sounds may have been the result of intact brittle rock fracturing in the slope. A similar event was recorded in the Afternoon Creek rockslide in the state of Washington, USA (Strouth et al 2006) and in a catastrophic rockslide-debris avalanche at St. Bernard, Southern Leyte, the Philippines (Catane et al 2007). The noises that followed may be due to the falling and rolling of rock boulders.…”

Landslides are one of the most dangerous hazards in Vietnam. Most landslides occur at excavated slopes, and natural slope failures are rare in the country. However, the volume of natural slope failures can be very significant and can badly affect large areas. After a long period of heavy rainfall in the fourth quarter of 2005 in Van Canh district, a series of landslides with volumes of 20, 000-195,000m 3 occurred on 15 December 2005. The travel distances for the landslides reached over 300-400m, and the landslides caused some remarkable loud booming noises. The failures took place on natural slopes with unfavorable geological settings and slope angles of 28-31°. The rainfall in the fourth quarter of 2005 is estimated to have a return period of 100years and was the main triggering factor. Because of the large affected area and low population density, resettling people from the dangerous landslide-prone residential areas to safer sites was the most appropriate solution. In order to do so, a map of landslide susceptibility was produced that took into account slope angle, distance to faults, and slope aspect. The map includes four levels from low to very high susceptibility to landslides.

“…Of the case studies, seven were from Japan, seven from Canada, four from the USA, four from China, three from Italy, and two from New Zealand; others papers were from Argentina, Belgium, Bhutan, the Czech Republic, Indonesia, the Philippines, Greece, Russia, Switzerland, and the Ukraine. Case studies of rock falls and rockslides included Orwin et al (2004) in Canada, Strouth et al (2006) in the USA, Catane et al (2007) in the Philippines, Cox and Allen (2009) in New Zealand, and Corominas et al (2005a) in the Pyrenees between France and Spain. Case studies of debris flows included Brooks et al (2005), which dealt with an ancient Andean debris flow in Peru, in China, and also Breien et al (2008) in Norway.…”

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.

“…Movements are very rapid to extremely rapid ….'' There are many welldocumented rockfalls throughout the world (Evans and Hungr, 1993;Wieczorek et al, 1999;McSaveney, 2002;Strouth et al, 2006;and Ravanel et al, 2010). Most published literature documents relatively large rockfall occurrences.…”
