Mass Movements in Great Britain (Geological Conservation Review Series No. 33) 2007

Abstract

Volume 33 of the Geological Conservation Review series, Mass Movements in Great Britain, outlines the causes of mass movements and their manifestations, and describes the sites of interest. The book also includes, in Chapter 1, a version of the Multilingual Landslide Glossary – an international standard for the description of landslides – and the rationale and methods of Geological Conservation Review site selection for mass-movement features.

Over 30 sites across Great Britain showing important features of scientific interest associated with mass movements are described, representing relict and active types of slope- and rock-failure such as debris avalanches, mudflows, rockfalls, rockslides, and planar and rotational slides.

The contents of the volume include:

Prelims – including an introduction to the Geological Conservation Review (GCR) and the list of sites discussed in the volume.
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Chapter 2 – Mass-movement GCR sites in Precambrian and Cambrian rocks
Chapter 3 – A mass-movement site in Silurian strata
Chapter 4 – Mass-movement sites in Devonian strata
Chapter 5 – Mass-movement sites in Carboniferous strata
Chapter 6 – Mass-movement sites in Jurassic strata
Chapter 7 – Mass-movement sites in Cretaceous strata
Chapter 8 – Mass-movement sites in London Clay (Eocene) strata
Chapter 9 – A mass-movement site entirely in Pleistocene strata
