Abstract
Folkestone Warren is a coastal landslide formed of Chalk and Gault strata located between Folkestone and Abbots Cliff over which the railway from London to Dover runs. Since a major slip that occurred in 1915, the area has been the subjected to extensive ground investigations, stabilisation measures and monitoring which over time has led to further refinement of the ground model for the landslide. This paper provides a summary of that development and outlines the current understanding into the complex arrangement of slips forming the Warren based on the nature of movements established by survey points and laser scanning techniques within the Warren for the period 1962 to 2024 and from the results from real-time monitoring at Warren Halt recorded since 2016. Minor ongoing movements, subsidence and cracking of the High Cliff have also been observed along the Old Dover Road in the vicinity of the Caravan Park, Capel Village and a possible reason for such movements is outlined.
The Kuwari landslide, located in the central Himalaya of Uttarakhand, India, is a complex slope failure that has experienced multiple reactivations since 2013. The instability is controlled by steep terrain, proximity to the Main Central Thrust, intense rainfall, and anthropogenic disturbances. Repeated mass wasting ha...

The Northwestern part of lesser Himalaya is susceptible to geohazards like, landslides, earthquake and flood etc. This study is focused on the assessment slopes by using geomechanical and kinematic analysis on stretch along National Highway- 5 (NH-5) from Kandaghat to Waknaghat, Himachal Pradesh, India. NH-5, also know...

Haidong New City district, located on the east bank of Erhai Lake in Dali, is characterized by complex topography and significant mountainous relief. Over the past decade, extensive urban development and construction have substantially altered and disrupted the original geomorphology, resulting in multiple potential ge...

In tropical volcanic highlands, road construction frequently modifies natural slope geometry and hydrological conditions, thereby increasing landslide susceptibility. This study presents the first systematic inventory and slope-scale geotechnical characterisation of road-cut induced landslides along the Befang–Wum stre...

Global climate change is gradually reducing slope stability in high-latitude permafrost regions, and the resulting tsunamis are posing increasing threats to local life and property. In landslide-induced tsunamis, energy transfer from the sliding material to the water controls the tsunami evolution process; however, i...
