Summary

The paper suggests the necesity to compile an engineering geological map of slope movements in Europe on a scale 1∶1,500,000. It may be accompanied by an explanatory text and by a Catalogue of the greatest landslides in Europe. Some methodical problems and reasons for the construction of this map are discussed. For the analysis of relatively small areas interesting regularities in the distribution of slope processes are established.

Résumé

Dans le rapport s’expose le point de vue de la nécessité d’élaborer une carte de géologie d’ingénieur des mouvements de masses rocheuses en Europe en échelle M 1∶1 500 000. On indique les causes essentielles qui exigent la nécessité d’une carte de telle sorte. Elle peut être accompagnée d’un texte explicatif, ainsi que d’un Catalogue des plus grands glissements en Europe. Sont discutées certaines questions méthodiques sur le traitement de ce problème important et difficile. A partir de l’analyse de territoires relativement petits sont constatées des régularités intéressantes dans la distribution des mouvements des masses rocheuses.
