Semi-quantitative Approaches for Landslide Assessment and Prediction

In the present authors attempted to have a clear insight into the interworking of geotectonic, geomorphic, hydrologic and anthropogenic factors leading to landslide in the Shivkhola Watershed, the most worst affected region of Darjiling Himalaya. This book includes the parameters responsible for lan...
