Between 1982-1990, on the slopes of Tarfala valley above timberline, at an altitude 1140-1220 m a.s.l., soil movement was measured by means of wooden pegs (columns) inserted in the soil. Three types of soil movement were distinguished : two were
dominant slope processes (frost creep and gelifluction) and one was a dominant vertical movement.
Moving related to separation : who moves and to what distance
The AA. use data from the unique ASTRID micro database for Sweden, based on administrative information about the entire Swedish population. The methods are logistic regression analysis of moving, and OLS regression of the log-distance moved
Mass movement of mancos shale crust near Caineville, Utah : a 30-year record
Arid area ; Badland ; Creep ; Mass movement ; Precipitation ; Rainstorm ; Slope ; Slope dynamics ; Slope gradient ; United States of America ; Utah
This study was designed to quantify rates of mass movement of the surficial material on the Mancos Shale badland, over a 30-year period, and determine what effects slope position, angle, and aspect had on the rates of mass movement. About two-thirds
of the total movement occurred during the winter/spring period.
Geoecology and mass movement in the Manaslu-Ganesh and Langtang-Jugal Himals, Nepal
Mass movement in the Himalaya
Geo-ecology ; Human impact ; Mass movement ; Nepal ; Slope ; Spatial variation ; Tectonic thrust ; Tectonics
This study describes and explains the spatial distribution of mass movement in the central Nepal Himalaya. Judgments were formulated on the origin and rates of mass movement using field evidence, topographic maps, geologic maps, and SPOT imagery
. Mass movement scars were mapped in the field. Chi-square analyses revealed that the frequency of slope failures varies with slope aspect, and position above/below the Main Central Thrust (MCT). Human disturbance did not account for a statistically
Diffusing the light of liberty: the geography of political lecturing in the Chartist movement
Lecturing activity was central to the ambitions of thre Chartist movement for universal suffrage in early Victorian Britain because it was emblematic of Chartist political aims. The article describes the organizational geography of the Chartist
Observations regarding the movement of barchan sand dunes in the Nazca to Tanaca area of southern Peru
To understand, and perhaps predict, something of the movement of these barchan sand dunes, the A. undertook a study of the dunes using aerial photographs. This led to a general study of sand movement in the surrounding region.

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.
The new town movement, originated in Britain in the ideas of Howard, was active in successfully implementing two new towns on a cooperative basis, Letchworth and Welwyn. These ideas became important on the Continent when the new town movement
