Abstract

Abstract In this chapter, we consider key advances in the understanding of mass movements between c. 1965 and c. 2000. This period saw a burgeoning need for a greater level of understanding of mass-movement processes in response to a series of high-impact mass-movement events, and because of the need to develop infrastructure safely. A series of step changes were enabled through hillslope geomorphology (broadly defined) being open to overarching and consolidating concepts, methods and models from cognate disciplines, whilst seizing opportunities to gain insight from rapidly advancing methods increasingly focused at a scale of investigation relevant to landsliding. By c. 2000, geomorphologists had made significant contributions to our understanding of mass-movement processes and ultimately led many key conceptual advances, notably relating to: bridging across scales of hillslope investigation; linking and developing understanding of process, form and mechanisms of slope stability; and articulating the temporal characteristics of slope stability and mass movement.
