Issue Date: | 2013 | Journal: | Landslide Science And Practice: Complex Environment | Conference: | 2nd World Landslide Forum, WLF 2011 | Abstract: | More than 20 mega-landslides have been described in the Canary Islands affecting the flanks of the volcanic edifices. Güímar and La Orotava landslides, in Tenerife, are two exceptional cases due to their huge dimensions and outstanding geomorphological features. The estimated volume of these landslides exceed tens of cubic km. Tsunami deposits have been also identified in some of the islands of the archipelago probably associated to the large landslides of the islands flanks. An investigation has been carried out to explain the causes of these large instability processes and their failure mechanisms. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/17949 | ISBN: | 978-3-642-31426-1 | DOI: | 10.1007/978-3-642-31427-8_3 | Source: | Margottini C., Canuti P., Sassa K.
