This paper assesses denudation by mass-movement in the western Himalaya and relates the mobilization of debris by mass movement to further removal by glacial and fluvial processes.
Mass movement in the Himalaya : new insights and research directions
Mass movement in the Himalaya
The processes of mass movement in the Himalaya have been described many times for the past two centuries. Recently, developments in a variety of fields have been introduced to assess the character of mass movement. Geomorphometry, remote sensing
, digital elevation models, and geographic information system technology are revolutionizing the study of mass movement in the Himalaya.
