Abstract
A very basic but widely accepted and used definition for landslide was established by Cruden (1991) and Cruden and Varnes (1996) and defines a landslide as “the movement of a mass of rock, debris or earth down a slope”. However, the term can be confusing if the parts of the word are considered. Cruden and Varnes (1996) note that it describes all kinds of mass movements and is not limited to granular soil (as land might suggest) or a sliding movement process. The term landslide is well established in the research community and will therefore also be used in this thesis as an overarching term referring to all movement types and material properties. Further on, the term mass movement is used interchangeably with landslide.
