Abstract
The research area in this chapter is the Three Gorges area from Yunyang to Wushan county, which is about 100 km long and 40 km wide and covers some 4,000 km2 in total. Forty percent of landslides in the Three Gorges area happened in this region, and 205 landslides have been recorded with relatively complete data.
